Hormone Replacement starting at 75yrs old

So, riddle me this: Why can my husband, a MAN, just go online, fill out a questionnaire, and get Viagra, no problem. Me, a WOMAN, asks for an estrogen cream in a message to my actual doctor (not some online service) detailing why I want it (disappearing structures, thin tissues, pain with sex), and NO! I have to make an appointment, pay a bill for that, probably have my privates poked and prodded, and MAYBE I'll get a prescription, maybe I won't. In what universe is that fair? I'm so sick to death of being treated as "lesser than" simply because I'm a female! 🤬

I totally understand but our bodies need to check that hrt will work. I had extra blood work and scan of my veins to see if I could take hrt... And how strong of script...
I'm 75 and was there in the 60's and 70's for the marches . . . all we wanted was equal pay for equal work and you would think we wanted the moon! In 1972 I applied for a credit card IN MY NAME but was told I needed my husband to co-sign for me as I couldn't have the card in JUST MY NAME ONLY! So, I'm with you. After all these years, although things have changed, they remain the same. It's very disheartening . . .

So agree, I hate the viagra commercials on TV, those gals should be ashamed of themselves for promoting this products by teasing the men on TV. I just have to laugh at how ridiculous all this is.
