Women in menopause should understand their own physical and mental changes, such as temper tantrums, difficulty in controlling emotions, vaginal dryness and atrophy. Understand their own emotional triggers and needs, and patiently tell their other half, teaching them how to arouse their emotions. Generally, women enter menopause 5 to 10 years earlier than men, so most men can't understand how menopause will change; due to women's changes and disrupt the original balance of life, men also need enough time to adapt, during which couples should have enough patience and appropriate guidance.

Even if there is sexual desire, vaginal dryness, vaginal wall weakness, and loss of elasticity can cause pain or discomfort during intercourse, or even develop a sense of sexual aversion, due to the changes occurring in the woman. Couples at this stage should communicate more to understand how the changes affect the other party and hope to get the other party's understanding.
