Q: Does my partner absorb any of my localized hormones?

by Dr. Barb DePree

Whether you're using a cream, tablet, or ring to add localized hormones to your vagina, your partner is not absorbing any—no more than he did when you were producing your own hormones before menopause. You (and he!) can feel perfectly confident about your use of these products, and your intimacy will benefit from the increased comfort you're likely to experience.

Dr. Barb DePreeDr. Barb DePree, M.D., has been a gynecologist and women’s health provider for almost 30 years and a menopause care specialist for the past ten.

  • I was taking testosterone via a surface gel. My wife was concerned she might get some transferred to her if we had sex. Considering testosterone powers the sex drive in women as it does in men, I thought this would be a GOOD thing.
