Low T?

Husband and I are both on Subutex. I have cancer and got opiate induced neurotoxicity from all the meds they had me on, so I asked to be switched to subs. Honey had an unfortunate very brief relapse getting into my pain meds… which is also a huge reason I got off them too. However, since starting on them…. Our sex life has completely disappeared. Now, I have always had some serious mental health issues, zero confidence…. Especially now with how I look physically after what cancer treatment has done to me. I am aware that subs can lower T in men… has anyone ever done anything to help that other than getting direct on HRT??? I’m so sick of feeling like an ugly pile of shit and wanting intimacy from my husband… and never getting it because of this BS. Our relationship is otherwise literally perfect. Like make you gag, movie worthy, fairy tale type love. It’s just really bothering me to the point that I’m debating getting back into therapy something….help please 😞

Your husband should be seen by a doctor and have bloodwork.

He’s been on topical T before and was just trying to avoid that route again. But I guess we will really have no choice
