Suggest Treatment For Low Testosterone Levels
Question: I am healthty 57 black male and after 31 years of marriage my wife has turned me off with a funky smell in her vagina of which she feels she can't do anything about. My urialogist tells me I have low Tetesarone and want to give me the patch or cream. How can I build this back up?
Brief Answer:
HRT for you is different from HRT for your wife.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query carefully and understand your concerns.
There are two possibilities to consider regarding the 'funky' smell in your wife's vagina. The first is a bacterial infection which requires being treated with antibiotics like Doxycycline.
The second possibility is indeed hormone deprivation and in such a case hormone replacement in the form of a patch or cream can be done (for her). Hormone replacement for you (Testosterone) is a different issue altogether and would depend upon the presentations you have.
It would be advisable to visit a gynecologist or an endocrinologist and to get the issue sorted.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
