University of the Sunshine Coast
A University of the Sunshine Coast survey of almost 500 women from 10 countries has identified a link between positive self-belief in childhood and sexual wellbeing in the transition to menopause.
In the study, women with a positive sense of self developed from early childhood reported higher sexual function and satisfaction in both pre- and peri-menopause.
Psychologist Colleen Tully-Wilson, who led the study and wrote the paper for her UniSC degree, said the research could inform therapy and interventions for pre- and peri-menopausal women experiencing poor sexual wellbeing.
"These findings also promote the World Health Organisation's definition that women's sexual health is about wellbeing, not just the absence of disease," she said.
