Question Treatment w/testosterone

Vic,

Thanks! I will be taking the info you posted with me to my appointment when I request the Rx for testosterone.

I posted an article in the articles forum about treatment using testosterone for men with low testosterone levels that received it not for sexual impotence but to treat their depression. I don't see any reason to believe the same would not apply to women with low testosterone levels. At the risk of being repetitive, I will say this again; loss of libido is not just loss of sexual appetite, but the loss of energy and enthusiasm in general.

The problems I've seen posted here include:

1. Loss of sexual appetite

2. Vaginal dryness and vaginitis

3. Depression

I'm hoping to find out whether using it in the genital area occasionally rather than by steady-state patch works for me. I do think the use of it while in the clinical trial improved my mood, but since it was not to be applied to the genital area in that trial I think they may have missed the rest of the boat so to speak.

A.A.
