Why Hormone Therapy Doesn’t Always Work the First Time #shorts #hormonetherapy #womenhealth

The hormones it was giving me were all over the place. And I tried compounded testosterone, you know, they just put on my arm. But I still had everything that women complain about in midlife. All of those things were not being managed by the patch and the cream. But I continued to do it because I thought, well, what else am I going to do? No doctor had ever said to me hey, there are other modalities that you can try of hrt.

First off, you can't really absorb it through your arms or absorption on the arms is one fifth what it is on the legs. It's an odd thing but if we look at absorption of testosterone through the skin it gets absorbed by far the best through the genitalia but it's almost too much too onset. But women might use that for sensitivity. But on the inner thighs you rotate it around, that's the best absorption. Below that is the stomach and almost nothing is the arms.
