Can taking testosterone help some women with hormonal imbalance?
All women produce testosterone naturally, it stands to reason that the hormone must do some good. Regrettably most gynecologists are not well informed about the value of small doses of oral testosterone supplementation (1.25 to 2.5 mg daily) restoring hormonal balance in women with chronic health problems such as fibromylagia, chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivity, and complex thyroid and adrenal problems. In addition I observe good results with a testosterone cream (2% strength of dipropionate form) than with estrogen creams for my patients with vaginal dryness and irritation.This subject however requires considerable experience on the part of the doctor. With small doses as mentioned here, the potential for adverse effects is extremely small. many women report improvement in their sex drive. Hair growth, if it ever occurs, clears up quickly when testosterone is discontinued. I do not recommend that women do this therapy on their own, without close professional supervision. Testostero
