SAN ANTONIO -- If your menopausal patients have low libido, tell them to take a hike, literally.

Results of a small, 5-year study of sexual satisfaction in naturally menopausal women suggest that exercise can fight decreasing sex drive. "There's no question that treating low libido with testosterone is effective, but there's a long list of possible side effects, including hirsutism, voice change, acne, and clitoral enlargement," explained Judith Gerber, Ph.D., a medical psychologist at the University of Vermont, Burlington.

Her study, presented in poster form at the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, followed 27 premenopausal women through the menopausal transition. Menopause occurred naturally in these women, and none of them received hormone therapy.
