Sorry if anyone finds this offensive but I am experiencing, to me, an unusual problem.

To put it bluntly.. I am feeling sexually heightened all the time. I'm still having vaginal physio twice a week which I find very embarrassing. it's not as if I'm young! I'm 68 years old. hubby isn't any help unfortunately as he has rectal dysfunction but wont do anything about it.

I was never like this before my OP.

Everytime I ride my horse I'm in seventh heaven!

should I go back to my urologist?

Surely something must be wrong with me.

any advice would be gratefully received. thanx.

    Hi Rosemary,

    I had the same repairs and have had a hightened libido.

    I am almost 59 and periods ended over 7 years ago and was never this 'frisky' as you put it even before menopause.

    I think that I had a large hood covering my clit... and when they did the two repairs it pulled everything tight and its exposed my clit.. more than would be normal.

    Also on estriol topical cream and I'm sure that also contributes to the the whole situation. I'm not that worried about it as it good to enjoy this side of a relationship without the worry of pregnancy.

    My hubby had a pituitary tumour which caused erectile dysfunction but one diagnosed and given medication to shrink the tumour has no problem now.

    Don't see why you shouldn't be able to enjoy a full sexual relationship regardless of age,

      Thanks for replying.

      I'm so glad I'm not the only one! even if it was just us two who are experiencing an improved sex drive, which I'm sure we are not! the OP was well worth it.

      I'm also on estradiol cream and estrogen patches so as you say it all contributes to the heightened sexual drive.

      Unfortunately though hubby isn't interested in sorting his erectile dysfunction out. He had an OP a few years ago to have a tumour removed from his groin but it's come back and I think he is too scared to go back to the Specialist.

      Not sure how I'm going to cope feeling as I do 😉

      warmest regards,

      Rosemary

      HI Rosemary,

      Sorry to hear that your husband's tumour has come back. I hope he changes his mind and goes back to see the specialist.

      Its not easy negotiating and adjusting to the ups and downs of a relationship.

      My partner took a bit of coaxing to initially go to GP who misdiagnosed him with depression.

      Thankfully blood tests showed his hormone levels were not right - (seems even men can have hormone imbalance too, including mood swings) - and was refered to specialist fairly quickly.

      Looking back he hadn't been well for a long time but we hadn't picked up on the erectile dysfunction as I had been in recovery from pelvic floor surgery

      twice within a few years and both times recovery took longer than expected.

      Anyway sounds like your recovery is going well,

      Good luck with your new designer vag..., ha ha ha!

      Look after each other and take care,

      Phyl x
