Premenopause vs. Perimenopause: What’s the Difference?

Low Libido

Sex may not be as desirable or pleasurable as it used to be before entering perimenopause. Not all females experience low libido during this period. For some, their sex drive actually increases.

Low libido [12] is common during perimenopause and is usually due to a decrease in sex hormones. Loss of interest can also be caused by vaginal dryness, which may happen as the hormones change. It can make less pleasurable or even painful.
