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

Postmenopause is the permanent phase after menopause - estrogen stays low, and long-term effects become priorities: osteoporosis, heart disease, genitourinary syndrome of menopause. Although acute symptoms like hot flashes typically ease within 4-7 years, some health risks rise progressively. 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 postmenopause 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.
