There are various treatments depending on the underlying cause and these are explored in detail in this episode. Too many women are not experiencing the right help and advice to improve their sexual relationships with their partner and clearly this needs to change. 

Samantha Evans' Top Three Tips for sexual wellbeing during the menopause:

1. Talk to your partner about your symptoms - communication is key!
2. Invest in a good sexual lubricant and/or vaginal moisturiser. Don't forget to check the ingredients.
3. Invest in a simple sex toy, maintain the intimacy with your partner and have fun!
