    Hello everyone. I live in Queretaro, MX. Two years ago I had a complete hysterectomy. I would like trt to restore my sex drive. I can purchase many things here without a prescription. I'm not sure how to start. I certainly don't know how much to take, but it seems like the gel would be the way to go. Currently, my husband injects me with Binodian once a month (made by Bayer). It's an estrogen replacement. I simply want my sex drive to return. I would appreciate any information.

    Welcome---How old are you? and were you on birth control pills before your hysterectomy? if so, there is a GREAT thread running on this now which will explain why you might feel this way and some solutions---- and any other specifics you want to share please would be helpful---

    YOu were immediately thrown into menopause after your surgery. You need to replace estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. You can use an estradiol gel but it is best to use both estradiol and estriol together (estriol protects against breast cancer) . This combination comes in a compounded cream known as bi-est usually.5 mg E2 (estradiol) and 2-3 mg E3 (estriol) Alternatively, you could use estradiol gel that you have available at .5-1mg per day and then insert 2mg estiol suppositories into the vagina a couple of times a week. The estriol will help restore the natural ecology, PH and lubrication of your vagina. This along with T supplementation should help bring your libido back.

    Alternatively, some post hysterectomy women use estrofem or estrace tablets (these are simply E2 tabs - bio identical) in their vagina for systemic use and get great results instead of using creams. You don't want to take these orally as they raise SHBG. Vaginal use of these tabs is a very cheap and effective form of BHRT but you need only use 1/4 amounts of oral use. You would break the 1 mg pill into fourths and place in the vagina daily but you'l still need a form of estriol for protection.

    You'll need progesterone. Since you no longer have a uterus, you don't have to worry about using it vaginally, but the rest of your body still requires it. YOu can use a prometrium capsule (generic = microgest) orally at night to help you sleep (100 mg) or you can apply progesterone cream to your breasts and other fatty areas. Most women can tolerate between 50-200 mg of cream a day in divided doses. You'd want to use the higher dose at night to help you sleep.

    If you have access to a compounding pharmacy you can ask for a low % Testosterone cream. Most women use 1-4 mg per ml once a day. The best place to apply this is on the labia, many T receptors there. Or you can buy T cypionate and inject just 10 mg a week with an insulin needle into your fat layers. If that doesn't increase your libido after a while I'd be surprised.

    YOu want to aim to get your E2 levels between 100-250, your Progesterone levels to atleast 5 (according to the Life extension foundation) and your total t levels between 40-100 if you can.

    These are just ideas, I am not a doctor so you may want to discuss these things with a practitioner. I have never heard of Binodian, will have to look into it. If it is not a bio identical estrogen then you are wise to seek alternative hormone treatment.
