Television personality Coleen Nolan has bravely revealed the devastating impact menopause had on her relationship and self-esteem, confessing she believed her sex life was over for good.
The Loose Women panellist, 59, described how the hormonal changes left her feeling 'completely dried up' and devoid of all intimacy, creating tension in her marriage and making her feel 'less of a woman'.
The Emotional Toll of Menopausal Changes
'I genuinely thought that part of my life was finished,' Coleen shared candidly. 'It wasn't just the physical symptoms - the emotional impact was enormous. I didn't feel like myself anymore.'
Like millions of women across the UK, Nolan experienced the common but rarely discussed symptoms that accompany menopause, including vaginal dryness, low libido, and significant discomfort during intercourse.
The Turning Point That Changed Everything
The reality star's salvation came in the form of YES VM vaginal moisturiser, a product she initially discovered through another celebrity recommendation. Skeptical but desperate, Coleen decided to give it a try.
'The transformation was incredible,' she exclaimed. 'Within weeks, I felt like myself again. The discomfort disappeared, and my confidence returned both in and out of the bedroom.'
Breaking the Taboo Around Women's Health
Nolan is now determined to use her platform to help other women suffering in silence. 'We need to normalise these conversations,' she insists. 'So many women think they just have to endure these changes, but there are solutions available.'
Her message to women experiencing similar struggles is clear: 'Don't suffer in silence like I did. Speak to your GP, explore your options, and know that you can reclaim that part of your life again.'
Coleen's honest account highlights the importance of open discussion around women's health issues that have been stigmatised for far too long.
