Listen up ladies! We’ve all seen countless articles on men’s health and the benefits that testosterone provides for their health and wellness, but what about us? Testosterone for women has felt taboo for decades and social norms have created this myth that strikes fear in the hearts of women, “Testosterone is for men. If a woman takes testosterone she’s going to turn into a man!”
Well I’m here to squash that myth, because the truth is: you won’t turn into a man, you won’t grow a beard, and you won’t get bulky manly muscles.
Why?
First things first, let's debunk the myth that testosterone is just a “men’s hormone”. Women naturally produce testosterone too, albeit in smaller amounts, but still just as essential for optimal health and wellbeing as it is for men. So what happens to women when those levels start to dip? Some pretty frustrating symptoms that often get chalked up to “just getting older” when really, these killjoy symptoms are direct side effects of declining testosterone levels.
Testosterone plays a very important role in libido for women so one of the hallmark signs of low testosterone for us ladies is: you guessed it… little to no sexual desire!
It’s so common, it was given its own special name to provide women with a diagnosis and answer to why they're just not interested. Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, HSDD for short, is one of the most prevalent sexual health problems experienced by women, occuring in an estimated one-third of the female population in the U.S.
This type of sexual dysfunction is defined as a persistent and recurrent loss of sexual desire, thoughts, and stimulation, that causes significant mental anguish. The significant personal distress, and length of time a woman feels this way, are major components of this diagnosis. This lack of sexual desire causes any combination of emotional distress such as: heightened stress, anger or frustration, sadness or grief, decreased self confidence and worth, depression, anxiety, and fatigue.
Low libido or sexual desire in general, is the #1 reason why women seek out hormone replacement therapy (HRT), specifically therapies focused on testosterone for women.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy, known as TRT, is a form of HRT in which the hormone testosterone is supplemented to increase hormone levels in the body, where it is utilized by many different body systems to perform their intended functions correctly. Restoring the body’s testosterone levels to its desired amount can treat the side effects caused by low testosterone, and it provides so many health benefits to women!
This hormone plays a role in many different functions in the female body. It plays either a direct or indirect role in regulating mood, libido and sexual health, bone health, and many others. Testosterone for women can be a game changer when it comes to boosting health and wellness.
Some of the major benefits of this Superwoman Serum include:
Let's clear the air on the “Big 3”:
Testosterone for women is safe and effective under the care of a medical professional that’s highly trained and experienced in the field of testosterone replacement therapy specifically for women. The prescribed dose of testosterone for women is much lower than what is prescribed for a man.
The approach to TRT for women here at Recharge Clinic is to start small and increase dose slowly over time, if needed. This greatly reduces any risk of experiencing any masculine symptoms.
Our Providers also closely monitor all patients on TRT to ensure safety and efficacy. Our female patients come in to review their hormone levels every few months to ensure their dose is correct or make any necessary changes. Our goal is to help all of our patients feel empowered, confident, and healthy so if you have any concerns about your hormone levels or feel like testosterone might be right for you, schedule your free hormone screening here or fill out the form located on this page to speak to one of our hormone experts today!
