Forever grateful to Rachel S. Rubin MD
A few years ago, while talking I told her about my frequent and severe UTIs. UTIs that took me to the hospital, UTIs that at that point in time, I was requiring bladder irrigations with steroids and antibiotics, sometimes twice a week.
I was on estradiol and progesterone, prophylactic antibiotics, I told her “I don’t know what else to do”.
“You need testosterone” she said. To my disbelief and ignorance, I said “excuse me?, my s*x drive is not the problem”
“Our urethra and bladder are very filled with receptors for testosterone” she said. Rachel S. Rubin MD is someone who I highly respect professionally, and at this point the only urologist I had seen or asked for help that gave me a different option: testosterone.
I’ve used it for years now and I can’t remember the last time I had one. But it didn’t only change my life in that way, I felt with more energy, more drive, more clarity.
Testosterone is SAFE as long as who is prescribing it has experience with it.
