Testosterone is typically thought of as a male hormone, but it is also present in women, though in a relatively small amount. It nevertheless plays a big role in a woman’s health and quality of life. Testosterone is believed to serve several functions in women, including:
- Regulating libido
- Influencing the reproductive process
- Producing blood cells
As with men, women’s testosterone levels tend to drop over time. Many women in their forties will see their testosterone levels halved as part of menopause. Symptoms of this decline can include decreased sex drive, decreased sexual satisfaction, depression, and fatigue.
Testosterone Therapy for Women Can Help
Bioidentical testosterone replacement for women can take several forms but most patients prefer sustained-release pellets that require minimal attention from the patient while maximizing safety; pellets, unlike creams or gels, cannot be accidentally ingested by children or pets. With just a few visits a year, women can enjoy more energy and a better mood without having to worry about remembering to take their daily dosages. Moreover, since the hormones are virtually identical to those found in the body (hence the term “bioidentical”), there’s little risk of patients having side effects sometimes associated with synthetic hormones.
