Not every woman needs to take hormone therapy to have a healthy libido, adequate arousal, and satisfying orgasms. 100% of post menopause women have no estrogen, less than 5% take estrogen, and of the other 95%, many have perfectly satisfying sex lives. However, while estrogen isn’t a requirement, it can help. A lot.
This episode covers the impact of ESTROGEN, TESTOSTERONE, and DHEA on libido, arousal, and orgasm:
