His and Her Health

Hi I am a 35 year old woman and I haven't posted here in a long time. I mentioned before that i had a problem with orgasms. Even though i have a high sex drive I don't experience much pleasure. I can only have a orgasm with a vibrater. Also my orgasms are so weak I hardly feel them. I just get a small, tingling feeling with no real buildup then my clit goes numb. Anyhow.. I tried different doctors for help. I went to a gyno and they had no answers for me. I went off my antidepressants and been off them for almost a year and no improvement. I went to a urologist and my pelvis floor muscles are fine. I started doing kegals, still no improvement. I even got my circulation checked to see if that was the cause. That was normal. Recently I decided to get my hormones checked. My doctor just told me I have low estrogen and low testorone. Do you think I finally found the cause of my problem?

Has your doctor prescribed medication for you. If so it may take a while to feel the results from it.Indeed it may be the answer to your problem. Let us know how it works for you.

I have to go back in to see him and he might prescribe something. He mentioned maybe trying something like estrogen. I don't know too much about estrogen and testosrone therapy. Do you think that if he gives me certain hormones it might help me? and what side effects will I most likely have?

Here is a link to an article on hormones(pardon the title) http://www.bermansexualhealth.com/hotflashes/hormones-for-dummies-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-but-were-afraid-you-wouldn-t-unders.html

Sounds like you found your answer. Hope all works out well for you!

yeah the problem is that he doesnt think it's a good idea to give testostrone cream or patches to pre-menopausal women. so basically hes telling me he isn't going to help me with the low testrostrone problem. so i don't know how i can raise me testostrone levels. maybe naturally through diet?

Please talk to another doctor or a nurse practitioner or a naturopath. I had the same experience with gynecologists and I finally had enough of it. When I complained of low sensation they'd say things like "get a vibrator" or "you're old, that's how it goes." Feh. You deserve the chance to try anything that might help.

i also notice that. he suggested me find a sex therapist or try a lube. my problem isn't in my head and it isn't lack of desire and lubrication. i have weak orgasms even with a vibrater and they keep getting weaker. and it's at the point where I usually can only have the weak orgasms with the vibrater. sometimes i can have them with my fingers, stimulating my clitorous but it takes a long time and i really have to concentrate and be alone. not only can i not have orgasms through intercourse or oral which causes strain on relationships, the orgasms i can only have with the vibrater and my fingers are so weak and unsatisfying anyway. i got 2 issues here and doctors have been so unsupportive. they make me want to scream. this causes me lots of emntal/emotional distress also. i find i get jealous of my male sex partners cause they orgasms and i don't. i also stopped talking to girlfriends about this cause they look at me like I'm crazy and brag about how they come 3 times during one sexual session. that only makes me feel so much worse. i feel so robbed, frustrated, angry and alone.
