I have been prescribed both Estriol Cream and Daktacort cream.
The Estriol Cream has been prescribed by a Gynaecology for vaginally dryness and discomfort.
The Daktacort Cream for vaginal itching and soreness.
However, my sexual interest and Inability to reach an orgasm is also a problem.
Can anyone give me any advice?
Thank you.
Are you using estrogen or testosterone supplementation?
Estrogen
For me, a combination of testosterone supplement (used daily, topically, on thigh) and regular use of Gynest cream for vaginal atrophy/itching (outside, not inside vagina), seems to work.
I've used Daktacort before (nipples, not vagina) for a possible fungal infection, and I felt it kind of desensitised my nipples.
Dependent on what you're using the Daktacort for, and if you currently only use the estradiol cream inside the vagina, maybe try the estradiol cream instead of the Daktacort around the clitoris and labia, too?
Good luck!
There is a relationship between estradiol and progesterone that helps with the ability to orgasm, as well as testosterone that drives desire.
It's hard to feel sexy when you are having dryness and sex is uncomfortable. Been there and done that. Sorry
Dear Gail Annie,
So do I need to talk to my GP about progesterone and testosterone, as well as the Estriol?
That seems a lot of supplements.
Regards. 😊
Typically doctors won't add testo till your estrogen levels are up and balanced with progesterone. However some newer methods are providing estrogen with testo.
All you can do is talk with your physician and see if there is something they might offer.
Totally stinks to lose libido and ability. I want to find the person who designed this horrid plan for aging, AND SLAP THEM! LOL
Absolutely!
Thanks for all your advice. 😊
