Testosterone For Women

Not Just A Male Hormone:

Testosterone Harding Medical InstituteTestosterone is widely known as a male hormone, but it is produced by the ovaries as well and is a critically important hormone for a women’s physical and emotional health. At The Harding Medical Institute we believe that it is important to balance all of your hormones to get the results you want.

Testosterone’s Role In Women:

Maintain sex drive: Testosterone actively increases the sex drive in both men and women.  However,  86% of women state they have a decrease in sexual interest with menopause as the ovaries stop producing Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone.  In some women, testosterone creams have been found to revive sex drive.

Keep bones healthy: The correct balance of testosterone furthers and supports the growth and strength of healthy bones, while too much or too little can harm bones. Testosterone replacement after menopause could help some women maintain healthy bones.

Manage pain levels: According to research in the journal Pain, women who take birth control pills and have levels of testosterone that are out of balance with levels of estrogen might have less ability to manage their pain response.

Preserve cognitive health: Changes in cognition and cognitive fatigue may be related to changing hormone levels. Correcting testosterone levels might help prevent cognitive fatigue.
