I think that you’re very fortunate to have a natural libido, sometimes we have no choice but to turn to medication. I’m curious, have you asked yourself why you would want to use medication when you clearly don’t need to?

@frouke , great question. I am very grateful I have maintained libido, good bladder and vaginal integrity, bone health, etc. But, I have watched videos of US female urologists talk and how HRT is vital for that maintenance. I’ve also spoken with Ortho PA, DO practitioner, and others who support HRT for various reasons. I want to protect what I have.
I have a friend in her 50s, who is dealing with vaginal prolapse and she’s never had vaginal birth. She just started HRT. My mom had 2 surgeries for hers, but she had 3 vaginal births.
Most of my female peers have zero interest in sex. I find this extremely disconcerting. Maybe, I should get my hormones checked, but daily sex is my preference. So idk. Seems like a great gift to be abandoned.
There are so many post menopausal women who have substantial and debilitating conditions, I feel HRT makes sense, especially when medical professionals are advocating it.
