Testosterone use

Testosterone use can significantly increase your sex drive. Sexual arousal can come unexpectedly and more frequently. The hormone can also make your clitoris larger and your vaginal walls thin. If you have receptive sex, you might bleed or have pain. To address vaginal problems, use a water-based lubricant during sexual activity. If discomfort continues, your doctor might prescribe a topical cream that's applied inside the vagina.
