Having gone down the medical libido problem route with my W. Let me chime in here a bit about testosterone. My w gyno prescribed testosterone for her in a pill form, I think it did help libido, but not very much, plus the mood swings and other side effects weren’t good. She then tried the cream, still side effects and not really a satisfying reaction.
Our key was the thyroid, I cant say this enough on here. Checking her thyroid PROPERLY changed the whole dynamic. I have a bunch of posts on here about thyroid deficiencies and libido. I would strongly recommend that if you are thinking of going on hormone therapy for low libido you fully investigate the thyroid too by going to an endocrinologist, and not using the general practitioner. The lab test results for thyroid and also for testosterone can be very tough to interpret, plus the guidelines given from the labs have ‘normal’ ranges that may not be normal for most people.
After going on thyroid medication, the change in her desire was significant. It manifested itself both physically and mentally/emotionally.
