Understanding Female Sexual Dysfunction
Testosterone is the hormone responsible for libido (sexual desire) in both men and women. A woman in her 40s will have half the testosterone levels in her blood than when she was in her 20s.
There are four distinct medical classifications of female sexual dysfunction that result in low libido:
- Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD)
- Sexual Arousal Disorder (SAD)
- Orgasmic Disorder
- Sexual Pain Disorder
This free booklet explains Sexual Dysfunction Disorder and the concerns of those affected.

Subject: Re: 3 months on cream and working
Hello Michael Buckley,
As of now I have been applying AndroForte5 at a higher dosage of .75ml. for three months. I am definitely experiencing great improvements. The greater of the improvements recently kicked in after this 3 month period. I went to my doctor today to order another blood test to check the results, and tomorrow I will take the test (getting the results in a week). Although my doctor gave the blood test order, he said something that I find very confusing. I am hoping you can clear this up. My doctor politely claims that he is against Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). He says I should see a Urologist, and cure the reason for my very low free testosterone, rather than taking testosterone to "cover-up" the problem. I find this confusing because in my research, I have not discovered that there is a cure for this problem, and that the cure is TRT. This doctor is not a Urologist, and I am believing he may be lacking education in this field. What do you know???
Thank you,
dave@roxxxxxx.com
P.S. I have spoken to many men about your product, I know one of them is now also ordering, and others soon to follow.

Dear Mr O.
Thank you for your email.
I’m please you are achieving the desired results.
With all due respect to your doctor he is mistaken in his understanding of testosterone deficiency.
I have attached a copy of the most recently published International Recommended Guidelines of the Endocrine Society (US-based) and collective of European Medical Societies dealing with the Aging Male and Urology for using testosterone in late-onset hypogonadal men which he is most likely unaware of. These were assembled by the most senior people worldwide in the field, including urologists.
This type of comment is very typical of a physician who learnt about testosterone 20 or more years ago – the science has moved a long way forward since.
I’m happy to provide him with multiple medical papers if he wishes.
At the end of the day the proof is whether you (as a patient) are experiencing results. It is frustrating for many patients that they have to educate their physician about the correct treatment.
Yours sincerely

I have been on Androforte 5% for about 40 days at the normal dosage. My previous T-count was 117. I just received a call from my doctors office with the new results: 665!! Wow,
I have to say that although I was already feeling much more energetic in every way, I was not expecting such a jump!
I used to take Striant which you place inside of your upper lip and gum. It never felt right in terms of feeling and in terms of having something inside my mouth every day. I was desperate to try something new and bio-identical hormones made sense to me.
Pharmaceutical companies apparently are not interested in bio-identical because they cannot patent them.
I am grateful that Lawley Pharmaceuticals makes this fine product. It really, really works!! No BS! Take it from an old skeptic, get this product. The customer service is prompt and efficient. Lawley is top notch in my book!
