Can Women Benefit from Testosterone Therapy?

Many women are often surprised to learn that testosterone offers many valuable benefits to their health and quality of life. Though it may be known and “the male hormone,” testosterone offers women some very feminine advantages.

Most women produce a small amount of testosterone throughout their lifespan—the amount varies from woman to woman, because as with most aspects of health, the definition of balance is unique to the individual.

Among women, adequate levels of testosterone provide women with numerous benefits, including:

• Improved ability to manage weight. Testosterone helps build muscle, burn fat and promote metabolic efficiency. Women who have adequate levels of testosterone have been shown to have an easier time losing, managing and maintaining a healthy weight.
• Improved strength and endurance. Testosterone plays a role in muscular strength and endurance, aiding physical activity pursuits and fitness results.
• Increased desire for sex. Testosterone is aptly named “the hormone of desire.” Research has shown that testosterone increases a woman’s desire for sex and contributes to improved sensation during sex and better orgasms.
• Better mood stability. Testosterone helps guard against mood swings, providing improved outcomes related to depression, anxiety and general moodiness. Some studies have also shown testosterone plays a role in memory and concentration.

Women may experience declines in testosterone due to aging, menopause or, for some women their body has never produced a sufficient amount of testosterone. Regardless of why a woman may be suffering from low testosterone, one fact remains true: women can benefit from testosterone therapy.

Testosterone replacement therapy has been found to counteract the effects of low testosterone levels in women. Women who undergo testosterone therapy report having enhanced sex drive and greater sensation during sexual activity. Many women who haven’t experienced noticeable results from their workouts generally find testosterone therapy improves strength, muscle tone and fat reduction. Many women also attribute testosterone therapy to improvements in memory, focus and ambition.

Testosterone therapy for women is offered in a variety of delivery methods—but the preferred method is pellet therapy. Pellet therapy offers women a steady, natural dose of testosterone over the course of three to five months. There is no hassling with daily dosing or fears of excess. Plus, pellets are easily inserted during a simple, in-office visit and require no recovery time.
