Hi wondered if anyone has tried tibolone for low libido. I’ve had a fairly early menopause-started around 40 but not properly diagnosed until I was 43 and I’ve been on Femoston 2/10 for the last year. I’m 44 now.
I have had a low libido for a while and visited my GP around a month ago to discuss a referral to the local menopause clinic to perhaps discuss starting testosterone treatment with a gynaecologist at the clinic. Plus I would like to ensure I’m on the optimal HRT given I’ve had an early menopause. My GP duly referred me.
The GP wrote to me last week and enclosed a letter from the menopause clinic which said the waiting time for the clinic was a long time however I may like to try tibolone for low libido meantime. My GP said I could call her to discuss or just leave a message at reception if I wanted this prescribed.
Wondered if anyone have any success or otherwise with tibolone. I gather it’s an oestrogen which exerts its action by increasing free testosterone but it obviously has all the risks associated with oestrogens. I realise these risks are minimal if I take oestrogens up until the age of natural menopause but I wondered if the effects would be increased as I presume I take tibolone as well as Femoston. I can obviously discuss this with my GP but I’m not sure if she will know about this in great detail and I want to find out as much as I can on my own before I speak to her. Thanks for getting this far!
