Ep11 Dr Jane Offor

Menopausal changes;  Vaginismus;  Decreased sex drive; Erectile dysfunction; Decreased libido .........And more…. Yes, today we’re talking about the “S” word… and I don’t mean senility.  S is for sexual … sexual dysfunction more specifically! Throughout our lives, sexuality is an important component of emotional and physical intimacy.  Many people in their 70s and 80s are not only sexually active but generally satisfied with their sex lives and express their interest in maintaining sexual activity.  But ….. yes there’s a catch…. getting older also means increasing the likelihood of encountering problems that put a dampener on sex. In fact, about a third of the elderly population has at least one complaint with their sexual functioning.  

With many of us older men and women approaching the second half of life as “newly single”…. the presence of sexual dysfunction can be somewhat troublesome when wanting to embark on new relationships. The good news is there are solutions to many age-related sexual dysfunction issues for men and women.  Joining us today to help us understand all things age-related in the area of sexual dysfunction and what we can do about it, is Dr. Jane Offor.
