My wife is in her early 50’s and hereto flashes were awful, I could feel thereat rolling off of her from 3 feet away. Additionally, while her libido did not suffer initially with menopause, she was experiencing vaginal dryness and lack of elasticity in that area.
Nothing more distressing than seeing your lover grimace in pain during sex.
She opted for a HRT estrogen patch that’s worn on the skin; immediately her hot flashes subsided and are far less severe and frequent, and vaginal dryness and lack of elasticity disappeared entirely. This is NOT testosterone.
She now initiates sex, and often, and gone is the grimace.
Good. And yes, estrogen isn’t testosterone.
