Visual summary of menopause phase, self-care steps and when clinical advice is needed. No sexual desire in Menopause

Menopause is a specific point - 12 consecutive months without menstruation. Retrospective diagnosis. For Malaysian women, this typically occurs at 49-51 years. After this point, you're technically in postmenopause for the rest of your life. Absent libido after menopause is a combination: estrogen + testosterone deficiency, pain during intercourse (genitourinary syndrome of menopause), and body changes affecting confidence. For low libido in the menopause phase, start with lifestyle basics, then discuss supplements or clinical treatment if symptoms disrupt quality of life. Discuss with Malaysian obstetrics and gynaecology specialist for a next-step plan based on your symptoms, medicines, and screening history.
