Here’s the other Dr Sonia again!
There is a lot in social media about benefits of Testosterone in perimenopausal women. The research ONLY supports its use for low libido in women. At this time there are no studies suggesting benefit in brain fog, muscle mass or fatigue.
Please remember that what’s on social media isn’t always evidence based and often people are trying to sell something/make money.
If you are interested in testosterone for low libido please make an appointment to come and chat to one of our doctors for more personalised information and advice.

We know menopause is an important part of midlife, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle – career shifts, caring for loved ones, and health changes all play a role too.

Here are our top 3 tips to help you navigate midlife with confidence this World Menopause Day:

🔍 Seek trusted information: The right resources can help you navigate midlife with clarity. Explore our menopause resources and those from our friends at the Australasian Menopause Society. Link in comments.

💬 Start the conversation: So many women are going through the same thing. Sharing your story and listening to others reminds you that you’re not alone.

❤️ Prioritise self-care: Midlife can be demanding. Making time for yourself, whether it’s exercise, mindfulness, or rest, helps you manage midlife with confidence.
