No sex for 6 years

Posted By Mojo (Overgaard, Arizona) on 11/12/2011

Hi, I am 56 yrs. old & my husband & I haven't had sex for 6 yrs. Now. I want to, I am afraid, as the skin gets very thin & can tear. I know an obygn who would have me use premarin cream ( I can't afford it ) is there anything I can get a natural cream? If I don't have a sex life w/my husband then I feel my life is over.

HELP PLEASE

See if you can get hold of OstaDerm V by Bezwecken. It's mostly fermented plants, but check out the ingredients and see if it is right for you. You should be able to find it online. Or call several naturopaths in your area, and see if they stock it. They'll usually let you buy their products without being a patient. It costs about $25.

I had vaginal atrophy several years ago and was prescribed Premarin cream by a GYN. It took care of the problem, but after a few months I had a number of unwanted side effects and had to stop. I called a naturopath who I've consulted over the years and she recommended OstaDerm V. I used it on and off (mostly off) for about a year and haven't had a problem since. It's applied directly to the vagina and a little goes a long way. I still have a little bit in the tube. Once you have your problem under control, you can just take Evening Primrose capsules (2-3 per day) and/or stick a capsule up the vagina at night.

I found that drinking fresh wheatgrass juice (and wheatgrass powder) and other green juices totally reversed my dryness. My libido returned and my FSH even lowered from over 15 to 3.67 (that was in three months). I believe that the problem stems from a lack of nutrients in the body. If you only add coconut oil to the area you are not curing the problem only the symptoms.
