Although it’s rare, a small subset of women experiences a change in their voice after menopause. Symptoms may include dryness in the throat, frequent throat clearing, lower voice frequency, and an increase in voice roughness.

Menopause causes a decrease in collagen production as well as a decrease in muscle mass. This can cause dryness and the thinning of many body tissues. While this can affect the vagina, it can also affect the vocal cords.
