A relationship between a mature woman and a mature man can often feel like a minefield, with partners unsure of how to move forward. The paths they once knew by heart no longer lead anywhere – or worse, they lead to the edge of a cliff. Conversations become shorter, intimacy and sex less frequent, and everyday irritations begin to multiply. Many of these challenges stem from natural hormonal changes associated with menopause and andropause.

During Couple Pause, the authors of Until Hormones Do Us Part (Dopóki hormony nas nie rozłączą) – Dr Katarzyna Skórzewska, gynaecologist and endocrinologist, and Dr Piotr Świniarski, andrologist and urologist – will join Odeta Moro for a conversation about how hormonal changes affect relationship dynamics.

They will also share practical advice: what tests to take, when to consult a doctor, when hormone therapy may be worth considering, and how to talk to your partner in order to rebuild closeness and mutual understanding.
