A note about sex and gender
Sex and gender exist on spectrums. This article will use the terms “male,” “female,” or both to refer to sex assigned at birth. Click here to learn more.
Aging causes changes in the body that can have direct and indirect effects on sex. An example of this in females is a decline in sex hormones such as estrogen after menopause. This can lead to painful sex due to less vaginal lubrication.
About 85% of older adults also have at least one chronic condition, while 60% have at least two conditions. People with chronic diseases are more frequently affected by sexual dysfunctions.
However, this does not mean that older adults cannot enjoy active sex lives. A 2019 study surveyed people aged 55–75 on their sexual activity. Women in this group were less likely than men to be sexually active but just as likely to be satisfied with their sex life.
A 2022 University of Michigan Poll on Healthy Aging focused on the effect of menopausal symptoms on older women’s sex lives. In those ages between 50–80 years, they found that:
- almost half — 43% — are sexually active
- 52% of those who were not sexually active were satisfied with their sexual activity
- 74% of those who are sexually active were satisfied with their sexual activity
- 1 in 4 had their partner’s health affect their sexual activity
- 28% had menopausal symptoms that interfered with their ability to be sexually active
In a similar 2021 study on older adults’ sexual activity and satisfaction, 40% of older women were sexually active compared to 55% of men, and across all age groups, women were more satisfied with their sex lives than men.
Why choose Circle Reading Hospital’s sports clinic?
With so many options available to choose from – from personal trainers to fitness apps and exercise equipment – why do so many women continue to trust us with their fitness and sporting health?
Women choose to visit us at the Active Women’s Clinic for a variety of reasons. Some will have been referred by another trusted specialist, such as a sports physiotherapist, rheumatologist or dietitian. Others will have heard about us from one of their friends who we’ve previously helped.
The overriding reason people trust us is due to the exceptional calibre of the people who run the clinic. Our Clinicians have more than 25 years’ combined experience in working with Olympic female sports women, the FA and professional Ballet.
Dr Kate Hutchings is a Sports and Exercise Medicine Consultant. Having worked with Olympic and Paralympic athletes, elite athletes and professional sports teams, she has vast experience in ensuring peak sporting performance and in assessing, diagnosing and treating sports injuries to ensure a speedy and full recovery.
Ros Cooke is a highly experienced physiotherapist. A few of her (many) career highlights include Lead Physiotherapist for England Netball, Senior physiotherapist providing support to British Equestrian Athletes and a Consultant Physiotherapist for Women at the Football Association.
Previously, access to this level of expertise in sports medicine was restricted to elite athletes. The Active Women’s Clinic at Circle Reading makes it readily available to every woman.
Both Kate and Ros are passionate about bringing the principles of elite sports performance and achievement to women of all fitness levels, helping them to achieve their personal fitness goals safely and free of injury.
The clinic is held at Circle Reading Hospital, a modern private hospital with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, a team of experienced healthcare professionals, and access (where required) to specialists in other fields.
