[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask your doctor to have your testosterone levels checked.  When women have high testosterone, which can happen for a variety of reasons before, during or after menopause, they become unusually interested in sex.  That can be a good thing but high testosterone also can indicate a serious hormone problem, especially when it is generated by the ovaries or an ovarian tumor but also when it is generated by the adrenals.[/quote]

Lord. Only on DCUM. The woman likes reading smut and you are suggesting she get checked for ovarian cancer and adrenal issues.[/quote]

Right??? A woman has an interest in sex - totally normal, in fact, healthy and good. But instead of celebrating it and offering book/movie suggestions, we're going to pathologize you.[/quote]

OP here. it's actually a good suggestion (thanks to that PP). I've known smut exists since I was a teenager and until last fall would not have had any interest in it. And now, it is the best part of my day :).

But yes, I am open to enjoying it while I work out what is going on, so recommendations are welcome as well!

Thanks also to the book club PP. I didn't expect actual kindness on here. [/quote]

Thanks for being open minded OP.  I know someone, a post menopausal woman, who suddenly had some symptoms that led her dr to test her testosterone only to find that it was off the charts high.  This person was quite surprised to find that this could even happen but it explained her heightened interest in sex among other things.  She had to have her ovaries removed once they determined they were the source of the testosterone.  It hasn't been long enough now to know whether all her symptoms will resolve or how long that will take.  Drs don't routinely test that in women, you have to bring it up.  If you decide to do that I hope it turns out you are just feeling pretty frisky and there is no medical issue involved.[/quote]
