When I told my OB/GYN I had no desire/libido she told me I needed to think about sex all day then plan a date where sex would happen. WTAF if you have no desire/libido you're never thinking about sex.
That's what mine said! I've always had low libido, but I'm 43 now and I am already starting to skip periods and it's now legitimately non-existent. In fact, it's in the negative. I feel so bad because my husband has quite a high drive and so we are very poorly matched in that one area. I want to want to have sex, but it's so hard to convince myself. So this recommendation from my obgyn is just comedy. Give me a break! Why do guys get working medical interventions and we are stuck with nothing? Ugh. Sorry, preaching to the choir.
Wonderful! I have a lot of great podcasts too on low libido / desire - check those out too! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/womens-health-by-heather-hirsch/id1423965506
Can you talk or address the clinic in Ohio you get the medication from? I’m struggling to find it affordable anywhere as I’ve been researching this for months!
Videos like this help to normalize a conversation about libido with a physician! It's a real confidence boost to reinforce to ask questions. Thank you! Would love to see a video about blood pressure and HRT. Love your videos and thoughtful and expert advice.
Hi Doc, As a Boss, I'm here to support you! Thank you for your professional insights. Helps me understand what's going on with my wife. LCSW completely. Hope you'd consider reciprocating. Cheers!! Pierre
Found NAMS provider said no reason why women need testosterone 🤦😳😭 waiting for next HRT consult with 3rd provider. I'm ready to ask ? after your course/videos 🙏🤞
So annoyed to hear that! Where do you live. Did you take the course?! I spend a lot of time breaking the down in there! you could also try ISSWISH website and look for a provider there.
I’m not sure why this isn’t more mainstream. I’ve never had good sex with a woman over the age of 40, which is the reason most men date younger. Yet society frowns on this, without addressing the reason.
What about cancer risk? My wife's sex drive after menopause went to 0 she asked about HRT her doctor told her she likely get cancer from using it we just need to accept that sex is in the past for some woman.
She needs to find a doctor who specializes in menopause. Many doctors are looking at an old study from 20 years ago. That’s old information. They are finding that going on hormones is preventing heart disease, osteoporosis and dementia. The book, Estrogen Matters, is written by an oncologist and is an eye opener. If you’re in North America, go to the NAMS (North American Menopause Society) website and plug in your zip code. That’s how I found my OBGYN who specializes in hormones. Not all doctors are good in that group so she will have to search for one she likes. I’m on a bioidentical estrogen patch and a bioidentical progesterone oral pill. Both are FDA approved and covered under my insurance. I started bioidenticals in October of last year, and my sleep is better, etc. Good luck!
My OB/GYN suggested it was all in my head, she told me to think about sex all day then plan a date where sex would happen. So frustrating I never think about sex and I even told her the only sensation I get down there is the need to pee. 😢 It's sad that these Drs do not take us seriously. I went to a Dr today and had the testosterone pellets placed im hoping that'll work for me. I hope your wife finds something that works for her.
@@crh251 Thanks I will tell her she only likes seeing her NP she has seen for years where she got that advice. Now that she is getting hot flashes, I think she might be open to looking into HRT.
Addyi was shown to not work that well, I wouldn't personally bother with it. I have heard of the injection, how well does that work? I don't know anyone personally who has (shared with me) that they use it. 4?! A month?! That all?! How the FDA is so not helping women (enough). I loved using testosterone. I now am on the keto, and my libido is normal. What about having too much testosterone is "DANGEROUS?" Ty for explaining. Good video.
Hi there I am new to your channel... I felt like you are talking to me while I was listening to UA-cam. I need your help please... how can I get a hold of you get some how help me with my libido problem.
Love your channel. You provide so much more information. I was confused about this video or maybe I missed it. What you discussed in this helps the brain “ get in the mood” not the vagina. If the vagina is not “ in the mood” based on dryness, lack of sensation, etc. How does doing these things in the video complete the whole sexual experience that women are missing?

Same here. Doc doesn't believe testosterone is needed for low libido in women. NAMS doc as well 😔

Get a new doctor. HRT may not be an option but there are other things

the number to see me is in the description bar. Or, check out ISSWSH or NAMS (google them) to find expert doctors near you!

If the vagina is not “ in the mood” based on dryness, lack of sensation, etc. How does doing these things in the video complete the whole sexual experience that women are missing?
Try the ROSY app for brain stimulation and if there is pain be sure to get that treated (see my other video on vaginal estrogen's!)
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Great info! I need this. 😊
