Why are more and more women taking testosterone?

About this episode

Over the course of a woman’s life, their hormone levels change in ways that can have a real impact on mood and daily routine. For example, it’s pretty well known that libido tends to decline at the time a woman is premenopausal. Now to address that loss of libido, an increasing number of women have turned to testosterone, or T for short, to rekindle their sexual desire. And if you believe accounts on social media, it does actually work, at least some of the time! Isn’t that a male hormone? Is it really as effective as people say then? Is testosterone an authorised treatment then? What are the health risks then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
