How HRT can help. It is not unusual for women to feel an increased sex drive after the menopause. This is often because they no longer have an underlying worry about becoming pregnant, although the majority of women now have available much more effective contraception than their mothers and grandmothers did. However, if your sex drive has taken a plunge in your menopausal years, then HRT may help. Sometimes oestrogen alone is enough, but if loss of sex drive is coupled with a severe loss of self-confidence, your doctor may suggest you try the implant form of HRT as the male hormone, testosterone, can be incorporated into it, which may help these particular problems.
