Libido During Menstruation
Understand how libido change during menstruation and what you can do as a partner.
Libido and sexual desire are reduced for many women during menstruation — a direct result of low estrogen and testosterone levels. Some women, however, experience heightened sensitivity. As a partner it helps to communicate openly and act without expectations: closeness and connection can take many forms.
