Hormone Therapy (tablets)

Tips and advice for any sexual side effects of treatment

I am very new to this and only just started taking this medication myself. I have not panicked yet, and my wife has been very supportive. Not sure how long this will last. I feel for her. We had a good sex life.

How this treatment impacted my life the most

The prognosis given has given me a different perspective on life. I am disappointed about my libido particularly for my wife as we had an active sex life. She is supportive but I dislike have to miss out because of this.

If I had to do it all over again, would I choose the same treatment?

Yes

Why did I give this answer?

I have hope that this treatment can help me bit this.
