Starting with Androgel 4 years into HRT and SRS
Slowly the university hospital is catching up, so I feel safe bringing my care to them. It took a while — they previously didn’t provide progesterone alongside oestrogen gel.
The new doctor and I asked for and received testosterone gel (alcohol-based). I’m prescribed a ribbon the size of my index finger to the first notch. No application to the genital area.
My current help request is for:
• Vaginal pain / narrowing with dilation
• Low energy
• Absent libido
This is all very new to VUMC as they’re doing a small study that isn’t published yet. So I’m reaching out to my superheroes for unconditional guidance. Please share any thoughts on dosage and place of application.
For context, I’m currently on 4 pumps of Estrogel + 200 mg progesterone (taken rectally daily)
