Brief Summary:
Since the mid-19th century old age has been increasingly recognized as a natural life stage especially as the human lifespan extends However aging brings changes that negatively impact womens lives causing diseases and lowering quality of life Women now spend about one-third of their lives in old age With 12 billion elderly women expected by 2030 WHO addressing aging issues is crucial for improving life quality As life expectancy for women exceeds 80 advancements in modern and complementary medicine are making old age more bearable Sexual health closely tied to general health should be considered in this context involving both the woman and her family

Detailed Description:
Since the mid-19th century the concept of old age is frequently mentioned today as the lifespan of humans especially women has been extended and it is accepted as one of the natural and normal life stages of every woman However some changes that occur in old age negatively affect womens lives This situation causes many diseases to emerge and decreases the quality of life of women Yeni 2004 Women will spend an average of one-third of their lives and even longer in the future in old age According to the World Health Organizations estimate that 12 billion women will be elderly in 2030 knowing old age well and being able to overcome the problems it will create is the most important condition for increasing the quality of life of women over the age of 60 Today when the average life expectancy for women is over 80 both the developments in the traditional approach of modern medicine and complementary medical developments have begun to make old age more bearable and allow for a dynamic life Since Sexual Health is closely related to general health it is most appropriate to approach sexuality in old age within the scope of old age to plan the womans life together with her and her family and to take into account each parameter that will affect the quality of life Taşkın 2000 In parallel with the developments in the field of medicine public health and the welfare of people in the last century womens life expectancy has also increased Todays women spend approximately 13 of their lives in the climacteric and post-climacterium period In this respect health problems related to this period are increasingly gaining great importance
The decreasing and changing hormonal structure and muscle tissue changes with aging bring about pelvic floor dysfunctions Especially factors such as the decrease in the volume of muscle tissue and its replacement by fat tissue and the decrease in the amount of estrogentestosterone cause problems such as incontinence prolapse constipation and sexual dysfunctions Kikuchi 2007 Sexual dysfunction is also a frequently encountered condition in pelvic floor disorders in elderly individuals Pelvic floor muscles levator ani bulbocavernosus and ischiocavernosus muscles which are anatomical structures that have a direct effect on sexual function regulate motor responses during vaginal penetration and orgasm while the strength of these muscles increases lubrication arousal and orgasm Berman et al 2002 DeUgarte et al 2004 Wright and OConnor 2015 Excessive tone in these muscles causes sexual pain disorders hypotonia seen in these muscles can lead to vaginal sensitivity decreased orgasm intensity and urinary incontinence during sexual intercourse Berman et al 2002 Berman 2005 Mouritsen 2009 Especially with age decreasing hormonal balance causes many problems such as dyspareunia in women and erectile dysfunction in men Kelley 2018 It has been reported that some strategies such as behavioral training exercise or physical activity recommendations in pelvic floor dysfunctions minimize the problems that increase with age Espunã-Pons M 2009
