Brief Answer:
HRT for you is different from HRT for your wife.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query carefully and understand your concerns.

There are two possibilities to consider regarding the 'funky' smell in your wife's vagina. The first is a bacterial infection which requires being treated with antibiotics like Doxycycline.

The second possibility is indeed hormone deprivation and in such a case hormone replacement in the form of a patch or cream can be done (for her). Hormone replacement for you (Testosterone) is a different issue altogether and would depend upon the presentations you have.

It would be advisable to visit a gynecologist or an endocrinologist and to get the issue sorted.

Let me know if I could help further.

No, there is no other way to boost your testosterone levels. But let me assure you need not worry. The list of side effects, however severe may appear, are primarily there theoretically. It is safe and widely used in day to day clinical practice.
