After menopause, women face new long term health risks, including hormonal changes that contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Changes in hormone levels during and after menopause also may lead to decreased sexual libido, sensitivity, and response; vaginal atrophy; and diminished vaginal lubrication, all of which interfere with sexual pleasure.
