| Low Libido In Menopause Linked To Trouble Sleeping
Women whose sexual desire diminishes during menopause are more likely to report disturbed sleep, depression symptoms, and night sweats, according to Group Health research in the June American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
To the best of the research team's knowledge, this marks the first time that sleep disturbance has been independently associated with diminished sexual desire during or after menopause.
The paper is based on data from Group Health's Herbal Alternatives for Treatment of Menopause Symptoms (HALT) study. Other results from this study, showing that the herbal supplement black cohosh did not relieve menopausal hot flashes or night sweats (hot flashes during sleep), were reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine in 2006.
All 341 of the women were chosen to be in the study because they were age 45 to 55 and had hot flashes, night sweats, or both.
