Estrogen decline can lead to genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), contributing to dryness, irritation, and discomfort. Sleep disruption, mood changes, stress, and body-image concerns can also influence desire and arousal. Our role is to identify what’s driving your symptoms and create a plan that aligns with your goals and preferences.
At our Vaughan menopause clinic, we help women manage symptoms such as:
Low sexual desire or changes in libido
Vaginal dryness, irritation, or burning
Painful intercourse (dyspareunia) related to GSM
Decreased arousal or difficulty with orgasm
Anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship strain that affect intimacy
Sleep and energy issues that reduce sexual well-being
Your plan may include one or more of the following, based on a thorough assessment:
Medical & Hormonal Options (when appropriate)
Discussion of local therapies for GSM (vaginal applications discussed during your appointment)
Consideration of systemic options for broader menopausal symptoms when clinically appropriate
Medication/safety review tailored to your history and goals
Physician-led assessments focus on safety, informed choice, and ongoing follow-up.
Non-Hormonal Strategies
Naturopathic support: education on symptom drivers, nutrition strategies to support energy, sleep, and tissue health
Psychotherapy: CBT- and mindfulness-informed tools for anxiety, pain anticipation, relationship communication, and self-confidence
Strength & conditioning (in person): build muscle, resilience, and body confidence—factors that can positively influence sexual well-being
Lifestyle guidance: stress reduction, sleep hygiene, and practical routines that support intimacy
Your journey begins with a set of detailed questionnaires to assess your symptoms, lifestyle, and mental health. These are followed by a comprehensive clinical consultation with our Menopause Program Coordinator.
As needed, we may request:
Bloodwork to evaluate hormonal balance
A full medical history and symptom review
Discussions around your goals, preferences, and previous experiences with treatment
Your progress is reviewed regularly, and your care plan is adapted to support long-term health and relief.

Is low libido during menopause normal?
Yes. Hormonal shifts, stress, sleep loss, and mood changes commonly affect desire. There are multiple ways to improve it—both hormonal and non-hormonal.
Can vaginal dryness be treated without hormones?
Often, yes. Many patients benefit from non-hormonal moisturizers/lubricants and lifestyle strategies. When suitable, local hormonal options may also be considered.
What if sex is painful?
Pain often stems from GSM-related tissue changes. A medical assessment helps confirm causes and review safe options to restore comfort.
Will I have to take systemic hormones?
Not necessarily. Some patients do well with non-hormonal care and/or local therapies. If systemic options are appropriate, your clinician will review pros, cons, and alternatives so you can decide.
Do you offer virtual care?
Yes—psychotherapy and naturopathic consultations can be done virtually. Strength training is offered in person.
