Besides estrogen & progesterone, (which do have an effect on female desire and ability to lubricate), surprisingly enough (or maybe not surprising to some), the female hormone that has a huge effect on female desire is...(drumroll please :)...testosterone!

As we go through menopause, our natural testosterone levels drop, and many orthodox doctors will actually put women on a testosterone patch (which of course, is usually WAY too strong, and mostly results in all kinds of other side effects...facial hair growth, body Acne and all sorts of other not so wonderful things for a women. But it does almost always increase sexual desire.

Since reading that your wife had a complete hysterectomy (and I'm assuming you use the term 'complete' as not only a removal of her uterus, but also her ovaries & tubes), then her body was drastically shocked by an immediate loss of hormones & natural hormonal production. And that being the case, it's my thinking that you should definitely look into some type of herbal cure/remedy/support.

My suggestion for an herbal tonic is below...you can find more information on Dr. Schulze , his products and how to order them by clicking on the Dr. Schulze link at the top of the Curezone forum pages. I've never heard of anyone using this formula that hasn't had at least some type of positive effect on whatever 'female problem' they were having! (Make sure you read the link in the Dr. Schulze info about 'Why Most Herbal Formulas Don't Work...it's very educational & enlightening). Also, the reason for the total hysterectomy probably also comes into play. If you don't mind sharing the reason, maybe I have knowledge (or could find out) what other types of issues might be involved.

'Hope this all adds to your arsenal for combating the problem :)

While running my clinic I have seen many woman who became incapable of normal functioning, both physically and emotionally, because of menopause, P.M.S. and hormonal imbalance. This tonic has been a lifesaver for them. Besides the obvious health benefits, many saved their marriages, their families, their careers and their sanity by using these formulae.

Over 1 billion woman use one or more of the herbs in these formulae. It gives women that sense of well-being and control. It does so by increasing the communication between the endocrine organs in the brain and the ovaries. It allows a woman the ability to age slowly and naturally and make comfortable transitions from puberty through menopause and beyond.

Today most estrogen is derived from torturing pregnant horses. Their urine is drained from their bladder via a catheter 24 hours a day. Even the manufacturers of estrogen use estrogen run a 4 to 14 times greater risk of developing uterine and breast cancers, not to mention liver disease and numerous other illnesses.

I have worked with hundreds of women in my clinic over the years to get them off of hormones. They were able to make this transition. This weaning off is best done gradually over a period of 30 to 60 days.

Nope. Just read up on them, and pick one out and order it.
