Testosterone is a female hormone!
Testosterone levels in women decline over time, impacting sexual desire and overall well-being, especially post-surgery or during treatment affecting ovaries. Benefits of testosterone therapy include increased energy, improved sexual desire, and enhanced mental clarity. However, side effects like acne and increased hair growth may occur, particularly at high doses. Women who are pregnant or have certain conditions should avoid testosterone. Currently, testosterone is not FDA approved for women, necessitating off-label prescriptions, which can complicate insurance coverage. Regular monitoring of hormone levels is essential for safety.
HRT is Safe and effective!
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), particularly with bioidentical estrogen and progesterone, is presented as safe and effective for women, especially post-menopause, to mitigate symptoms and enhance quality of life. As life expectancy increases, so does the importance of maintaining hormone levels to support health, bone density, and overall well-being. While potential side effects exist, strategies can be implemented to manage them. Collaboration with healthcare providers ensures tailored approaches to help women optimize their hormonal health and address specific concerns during aging.
