Estrogen and progesterone are the primary sex hormones in women, whereas testosterone is the primary sex hormone in men. However, the female body also produces testosterone, which plays a vital role in women’s health and well-being.
Supplementing testosterone can be an important part of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for some women. However, there is no FDA-approved testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) treatment for menopause symptom relief. In some cases, the hormone may be prescribed off-label with dose modifications or, more commonly, in combination with estrogen for postmenopausal women experiencing decreased libido.
