I have found someone after about 10 years,,now I'm 54,,and sex is farthest thing from my mind. Can I use testosterone cream,,will it help? Can I buy it online?
Anybody have ideas,,,,I know others are going through the same thing.

I don't go to a dr. because I have no insurance,,I am registered at a clinic for low income,,but they won't handle something like this,,,only illness. It costs a lot to go to a GYN,,,plus lab tests,,,I've just had to take care of myself as best I could.

Loss of a sex drive is not uncommon after undergoing a hysterectomy and it can be medically treated via testosterone. I had one last year (am 37) and have the same problem. However I don't think that this is something that you can buy online, nor am I sure that testosterone cream will help.
Check out this website as there is a wealth of information:http://www.hystersisters.com/ Someone may have an alternative recommendation.

You definitely should look into HRT regimens that contain low doses of testosterone and other hormones that can help regulate your levels and return your libido. What you are experiencing is very normal but there are things that can help. I know you said you have no insurance but what about contacting the pharmaceutical companies directly? They offer low and no cost programs for patients without insurance who need their Rxs. Check out www.needymeds.com and see if you can find the right start for help.
PS after effects of hysterectomy may not be an illness per se, but the clinic should be helping you deal with it - it's a quality of life issue and that can become a serious medical issue if left untreated. Talk to them...
Good luck.

I am confused by the information here. If you had a hysterectomy, it is not uncommon to lose interest in sex -especially later in life.
If you had a hysterectomy, why the testosterone cream? My advice is to go to a doctor and see if you can get better advice and prescriptions from the doctor. It is better to get more personal advice from a doctor who knows your history and what you are taking.
