Where the Hell are you Americans at.
I like you, found no desire to make advances to my wife. We complained to my Endo. about this and they gave me a blood test for testosterone. This came back on a scale of 30/10 , I was 0.1 ( more female than male ) Your Pituitary controls your sex drive in the Testosterones thingy.
I used the Patches for some 8 months. ( Hate the injection Idea ) been told that its like getting an arm full of anger. tablets the doc told me don't really work as they have to be taken with milk.
The patches work well enough. but due to the hot flushes, they tended to fall off.
Then finally , Australia enabled me to take the Gel Since taking the GELL :) :) :) I've got a smile on my face, my wife says not again ( HAHAHA)
Honestly lifes good for the both of us.
This is why I say where the hell are you Americans.
I was tested for the lot, right from the word go.( Cortizone , thyroxine, and testosterone levels ) none of this ,test for one thing, then the next. I'm still tested every three months since my op. and they test me for every thing they need to know
Enough rambling , Cheers Mal from OZ

| From: Fred |
I have seen various postings of the site but never a discussion of the sexual side of the pituitary tumor. The dictionary describes libido "as the desire for sexual urge".
I am a fifty seven year old male and who was diagnosis with a pituitary tumor when I was forty years old. Since then I had surgery and gamma knife procedure and the dr's said the tumor has been rsolved (their words). I am taking testorterone and that is not helping our situation. I have been to counseling and no help.
What I would like to hear is members discuss how do they handle the sexual side. My wife and I have not had sex in over three years, there is no desire on my part. Prior to being diagnosis sour sex lives was going down hill. I always thought it was because getting older and I was also doing a lot of commuting to work, in other words plain tired.
My wife has been somewhat understanding but she does have her needs! Has anyone been able to get their sex live back or is this just an unusal case? Has there been anything written about this in any medical journals?
Any comments would greatly be appreciative!!
