Testosterone in Women

Testosterone is described as important for libido and sexual function in women. The article does not establish a universal ideal testosterone number for postmenopausal women. The article says evidence supports testosterone use for libido in women, but regulatory barriers and lack of FDA-approved options remain. Testosterone therapy should be monitored because excess levels can cause side effects and aromatize into estrogen. Testosterone pellets are treated cautiously because the article considers their safety and efficacy evidence insufficient and reports very high testosterone levels after pellet therapy.
