Q

Who does this happen in: During menopause, estrogen levels decrease causing the labia and clitoris to become smaller. Adrenal androgens and ovarian testosterone levels decrease which may account for decreases in libido and in muscle mass and strength. Vaginal mucosa becomes thin, pale and dry which may result in dyspareunia (painful sex). Ligaments and connective tissue of the pelvis sometimes lose their elasticity and tone, thus weakening the support sling for pelvic contents.
