THE RAISIN

BREAKDOWN

What nobody told you about menopause

WHAT'S HAPPENING DOWN THERE

As estrogen declines, blood flow to pelvic tissue, including the clitoris, declines too. Less blood flow over time can mean dryness, thinning, and less sensitivity. It has a real name: genitourinary syndrome of menopause. It is common, physical, and not in your head.

WHY USE IT OR LOSE IT IS REAL

Arousal brings blood flow, and blood flow keeps tissue healthy and responsive. Long stretches without it, especially with no support, and the changes can progress. Intimacy, with a partner or solo, genuinely helps.

WHAT ACTUALLY HELPS

Vaginal moisturizers. Local hormone therapy like vaginal estrogen cream. Staying intimate. Pelvic floor therapy. The right fit depends on your history, which is why you talk to a nurse first instead of guessing.
