A year after my hysterectomy at age 38, my sex life became greatly affected. Things happened to my body that I did not expect. Vaginal dryness was my biggest complaint and nothing over the counter helped. Only through compounded hormone replacement therapy have we gotten our normal sex life back. But it has also helped my thyroid issues, mood issues, low libido, joint pain and frequent headaches. All have been greatly improved with CHRT, or cBHT. My husband is now even a patient! Testosterone cream has helped with his mild ED issues and seems to even improve his moods.
