Effects of estrogen to stop growth

I have me a wonderful woman in her mid-40's.  She has been six feet tall since she was 12 when she was given estrogen to stop her growth.  She claims to have no sex drive at all.  Never has.  Other than the lack of libido, she is healthy.  I understand there are any number of things that can effect libido, but is it possible the estrogen therapy is a contributing factor--and if so, is there anything we can do about it now?

Is she still on estrogen or was that a short-term medication years ago?  If she hasn't had a checkup for a year or more, she could go in for one now and mention any issues dealing with estrogen and having no libido, as you describe, during that appointment.  Of course, with any sexual activities, you need to entertain a good amount of foreplay with her that might trigger her libido.

Hormone therapy is a complicated affair.So she must consult urologist or gynecologist to understand the problem. I can suggest some exercises which may help her to normalize sexual system. Google, female deer exercise., kegel exercise, Anal peripheral prostate massage( this massage is applicable to woman also for this purpose.
