What Causes Low Libido In An 80 Year Old Woman?

Posted on Mon, 20 Jun 2016

Question: My wife had a hysterectomy many years ago. She has no sex drive. If I don't bring sex up, there is none. She is a young 80 yrs old. She's always had a bod for sin. I'm 69 & I adore her. She can't believe how patient I am, but I'm feeling frustrated as I feel these last years should be our best. She's like my old XXXXXXX XXXXX. Hard to kick-start, but once you get her motor running.... She has also become reluctant to allow or have, oral sex and she says she can't explain it. She used to play with me almost every night. But even when I give her " rubbies", she seldom responds in kind. Any suggestions? I'm running out of "gas" & watching porn isn't very satisfactory

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query
I think both of you have sex problems - you ED and she has reduced desire. It is a known scientific fact that ED can induce or worsen Desire. in women I suggest you take tadalafil 10 mg daily adequate stimulation and she apply estrogen cream in vagina daily and let things improve in 2-3 weeks before try Vaginal sex
