Testosterone is one of the s*x hormones that women produce, yet it is often overlooked. Women actually produce three times as much testosterone as estrogen before menopause. Levels of testosterone gradually decline with age and menopause.
The most commonly described symptoms of Testosterone insufficiency include mood disorders, depression, unexplained fatigue, change in s*xual function including reduced libido, memory challenges, hot flashes and vasomotor symptoms, bone loss, and decreased muscle strength and mass. Testosterone can be important in women for bone density and muscle mass, cognitive function, mood, s*xual function, and energy. Adequate levels of testosterone are important for the maintenance of musculoskeletal health and possibly vascular and brain function.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines state that testosterone supplementation can be considered for menopausal women with low s*xual desire if hormone replacement therapy (HRT) alone is not effective. Replacing testosterone levels can help to restore a woman's, (and a man's), vitality and s*xual wellness.
