Testosterone is often overlooked when discussing hormone therapy for women, but it plays a vital role in overall well-being, especially post-menopause. While estrogen and progesterone are the primary hormones addressed during menopause, adding testosterone to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can offer significant benefits.
For many women, testosterone treatment can improve sexual function, including libido, and enhance mood, energy, stamina, and concentration. It’s also known to help with brain fog and memory issues, which are common concerns during menopause.
However, it’s important to note that testosterone treatment is not a quick fix. It can take several weeks, even months, to notice its full benefits. Clinical improvement in symptoms is more important than aiming for specific blood levels, as blood tests are not always reliable indicators of need.
Commonly used testosterone options include gels and creams, such as Testogel®, Testim®, and AndroFeme®. These are typically started at low doses and adjusted based on individual symptoms and needs.
If you’re considering testosterone as part of your post-menopausal care, consult with a healthcare provider to ensure it’s the right fit for you. Together, you can create a personalized plan to improve your quality of life.
