Menopause is a physiological phenomenon that women go through. It brings about an end to their menstrual cycle. IF your periods have stopped for over a year, then you can safely conclude that you have hot menopause. It occurs as the levels of oestrogen, the female hormone that regulates reproductive cycle, depletes and the ovaries stop producing eggs. Typically, a woman experiences menopause between 45-55 years of age. If it occurs before 45, then it is known as premature or early menopause. A study published in the journal Human Reproduction observes that early onset of menopause increases a woman’s risk of multi-morbidity by age 60. However, there are various ways to delay the onset of this physiological process. If recent research has to be believed, having sex regularly can help you do so. A study published in Royal Society Open Science states that having sex often may be instrumental in delaying the onset of menopause. The findings of the study suggest that women who indulge in sexual activities every week are 28 per cent less likely to experience early menopause than those who have sex once a month. However, there is no way to prevent this natural biological process. Also Read - Menopause may increase forgetfulness, lack of attention

SEXUAL BENEFITS OF DELAYED MENOPAUSE

Women who experience menopause later in life feel more comfortable while having sex in the time leading up to this stage. This is because sufficient levels of oestrogen prevent vaginal dryness before menopause strikes. It has been observed that postmenopausal women find it difficult to have sex due to lack of lubrication. This leads to painful intercourse. Also, having sex regularly helps maintain the elasticity of vaginal walls. This eases the process of penetration.

The seeds of fruits like strawberries and raspberries are stuffed with zinc which is essential for sex. Also, dark chocolate is a known aphrodisiac as it elevates the levels of sex hormones. Apart from these, beverages like coffee can up the libido.

Practise yoga

Yoga asanas like Cat Pose (Marjaryasana) and Cow Pose (Bitilasana), Bridge Pose among others can also pay instrumental in revving up your sex life.
