"Sexual Desire and Sexual Response in the Hormone Jungle and Hormone Desert Oasis"

I have posted a copy of this very informative article in the thread below, and post it here in case it gets missed in the nutrition section, but is of interest.

RB,

Thank you again so much for keeping an eye out for information for us to consider -- particularly about a subject that genuinely affects us, is so consistently poorly dealt with by medical providers, and so "taboo" and intimate.

Re: "Sexual Desire and Sexual Response in the Hormone Jungle and Hormone Desert Oasis

I stopped the Zoladex shots a year ago and then at age 50 my periods came back. :-((( The good news is that my libido returned as well. My husband is over the moon.

Now my onc said that there may be a small benefit to doing another couple of years of an AI and she wants me to have an oophorectomy.

I just don't know.
