OPINION: Misconceptions about menopause
Vaidah Mashangwa
There is a belief that menopause brings an end to sexual activity and that most men become frigid when it comes to having sex with their wives once they reach menopause. In actual fact menopause marks the end of a woman’s fertile life but not her sexual life. The same period is referred to as climacteric by those in the medical profession.
Menopause brings relief to women who would have given birth to several children as it becomes unnecessary to worry about becoming pregnant again or to concern oneself with methods of contraception. On the other hand menopause can bring sadness and worry to women who would not have borne children as it brings certainty that they can never be mothers.
