Unfortunately, there is a pervasive and prevalent lack of communication with patients about this topic prior to making tough decisions or borderline decisions about treatment. At the very least, those who are contemplating treatment should consider specifically going over this issue thoroughly and openly with their medical providers to make sure everybody is on the same page about it and not in denial about it.

Here is another trial for women who have completed initial treatment that is trying to help women who are suffering from this problem and who are interested in helping to find out what might help.

Vaginal Testosterone Cream vs ESTRING for Vaginal Dryness or Decreased Libido in Early Stage Breast Cancer Patients (E-String)

This study is currently recruiting participants.
