This podcast episode discussed how to treat low testosterone in women, detailing its symptoms such as decreased libido, fatigue, and mood changes, which are often overlooked despite affecting many women, particularly post menopause. It explains various treatment options, including different forms of testosterone replacement therapy, noting that no FDA-approved treatments currently exist specifically for women, leading to off-label prescriptions. The text also addresses potential side effects of testosterone therapy, emphasizing dose-dependence, and discusses controversies surrounding hormone treatments for women, particularly concerning past studies on estrogen and progesterone and the need for more research on testosterone's effects on cardiovascular health and cancer risk.
