My wife’s menopause

My wife is 55 years old. Since she stopped seeing her periods, her behaviour has changed. She is now very irritable and moody. More than that, she has lost interest in sex. Kindly help me.

Menopause is a phase of life which women react differently to. While some women are not affected in any way by Menopause, others have some challenges like your wife. You will need to be very patient with your wife and realise that what she is currently going through is not her fault. However if she does not improve after all your care and support, then you will need to see a specialist in women’s illness (a Gynaeologist) for a more technical support.
