No sex, no drive, just horrible
Had full hysterectomy 12 years ago. Tried most lubricants, even tried vaginal therapy. Poor husband has been a trooper but it sucks. Can't do hormone replacement at all, BRACA positive. Any other help or suggestions would be great. Pain and discomfort when we even try. Even gynecologist exam causes pain. Ahhhhh help please.

Re: No sex, no drive, just horrible
I'm sorry that you're having problems. It's especially difficult when no hormones are allowed.
Have you tried things such as vaginal Vitamin E capsules? Some members have had success using them, and some swear by using coconut oil. Other suggestions can be found in this link: 10 Tips for Managing Vaginal Atrophy, plus there are many additional articles on the topic in the Menopause and Hormones - Articles .
There are some women who have been prescribed vaginal estrogen, in a very low dose, even when there has been a cancer diagnosis. I don't know if that is something that you and your doctor would consider but I did want to mention it.
Hopefully someone will respond to share from experience in dealing with atrophy minus hormones.

Re: No sex, no drive, just horrible
I am sorry, have you looked into herbs? I am not an herbalist but understand there are herbs that can or may assist with desire and hormone replacement. I am currently reading up on it myself.

I was BRACA1 positive too. I had the hysterectomy and mastectomy done. My question is why can’t you do hormone replacement. I am currently not taking any medication. My Gyn sent me a patch but still iffy about putting it on. Should I be taking any medication or vitamins. I asked my Gyn she said no I just want to know for y’all ladies
