About this Presentation
This presentation explores the use of testosterone in the management of menopausal symptoms in women, especially those with reduced libido. Despite being extensively studied for several years, only recently has there been a formal product for testosterone therapy for women available on the market. The benefit is evident, not just with regards to a woman’s sexual desire and quality of orgasms, but also on their energy levels. This lecture looks at screening for the right patient for the use of testosterone therapy and also offers practical guidance on the use of the medication, dosing and side effects.
