Testosterone And Women

Testosterone is often thought of as “the male hormone.” However, it is also the primary sex hormone in women. Females produce testosterone in the ovaries and the adrenal glands. The following are some of the functions of testosterone in a woman’s health and well-being:

-Maintenance of bone strength and growth.

-Increase in muscle mass and strength.

-Decrease in body fat.

-Enhances a healthy libido and sex drive

-Support of cardiovascular health

As the above list reveals, testosterone production in women can have numerous beneficial effects. However, hormonal balance is of utmost importance. As with many other hormones, the onset of perimenopause and menopause cause a decline in testosterone production by as much as 50%. Women whom have had a hysterectomy, with or without ovarian removal, suffer from a significant decline in testosterone levels. High stress levels, especially in this time of an ongoing pandemic, can lead low testosterone symptoms in women during their 30’s and 40’s.

Below are some of the common complaints from diminished testosterone levels:

-Decreased energy

-Brain fog

-Weight gain

-Inflammatory processes

-Decreased libido

-Muscle loss
