Following the FDA’s recent discussion on testosterone use in menopausal women, Dr. Jacob shares a few key takeaways:
🔥Women deserve more research and better treatment options for menopause-related concerns.
🔥Testosterone therapy can be helpful for appropriately selected patients, but it is not a one-size-fits-all treatment.
🔥The strongest evidence currently supports its use for certain women with HSDD (low sexual desire causing distress).
🔥Dosing and monitoring matter—more testosterone is not necessarily better.
🔥Claims around testosterone for energy, mood, cognition, and overall wellness still need stronger clinical evidence.
🔥Hormone therapy decisions should be based on a woman’s symptoms, health history, goals, and individual risk factors.
Ultimately, hormone therapy should be personalized based on your symptoms, medical history, goals, and individual risk factors.
