Testosterone cream makes you feel like you have to pee?

In perimenopause (48 yrs old) and hormones causing migraines plus have
zero libido. Hormone panel showed hormones across the board.

Have started natural HRT, one of which is testosterone. The progesterone
by the way is helping the migraines, I have lowered and hope to
discontinue the pharmacuetical preventive migraine meds I have been on
for years.

I have only been on the testosterone cream for 2 weeks, apply to or in
the vagina nightly. But the only thing I am feeling is the urgency to
pee, or kinda like I have a bladder infection! So far no sign of
increased libido. Later in the day the sensation lessons. If I apply
the cream somewhere else, my abdomen, behind my knees, etc. I don't
notice this (not even sure can do this, but read on the internet is an
option). Is this the "sexual" sensation I am suppose to feel?!!! If so
I think I will pass!

Anyone else experienced this? Should I call my doctor back and discuss?
Move the application to another area?

I don't know about the effects of testerone applied topically to the
vagina (sounds counter-intuitive to me), but what you're feeling could
be an allergic reaction to the cream.
