What is the benefit of testosterone for a woman?

Answer 1

The number one benefit is a higher sex drive. Other reported benefits include increased energy, reduced risk of osteoporosis, heightened metabolism, and increased muscle mass. It must be remembered though that women are sensitive to testosterone, so in taking supplements women may experience some masculinizing symptoms that they don't want such as a deepening of the voice or increased facial hair.

Answer 2

Testosterone isn't necessarily bad for women, because it is a hormone that all women produce anyway but having a large amount of testosterone can cause oil glands to be overactive and may cause acne.

a sertain amount is ok

Answer 3

Females produce testosterone, in small quantities by the ovaries and adrenal glands. In females, it is responsible for the develoopment of sexual desire, development of muscle mass, and increase in bone density.

Answer 4

Both men and women have both testosterone and estrogen in their bodies. Women have more estrogen than men, and more estrogen than testosterone. Men have more testosterone than women, and have more testosterone than estrogen in them. Too much of either can be bad. Too little can be bad too.

The effects both good and bad of testosterone are too numerous to write here, best bet is for you to Google it and do the leg work.

Answer 5

Testosterone is present in both males and females, but there is a lower level of testosterone in females. Estrogen is in a way a replacement,but not really. Estrogen is also present in males just in lower levels.

Answer 6

Testosterone can improve the libido, and decrease anxiety and depression; adding testosterone especially helps women who have had hysterectomies. Testosterone also eases breast tenderness and helps prevent bone loss

Answer 7

TESTOSTERONE is Probably one of the most misunderstood naturally occurring FEMALE hormones in the body.

Testosterone is critical to the female body. The female body makes/ converts estrogen FROM the available Testosterone. If the female body doesnt have enough Testosterone to "convert" you will not have enough Estrogen or enough Testosterone & the body is out of balance & SYMPTOMS start.

Testosterone lubricates the joints, provides the sex drive & can help produce serotonin, which keeps anxiety & depression at bay & helps you feel better & sleep.

All things in their right proportion, though. Too much can cause problems, but most women live with FAR too little most of their lives.

Natural blood levels from 50-100 would be ideal & (Hormone Replacement Therapy /HRT) Treatment levels during and after peri menopause of 250-400 provide great relief from Hot flashes, Arthritis, fatigue, insomnia, low libido, vaginal dryness & even migraine & memory loss.

In the POST CHILD BEARING YEARS, Testosterone therapy is much more effective than Estrogen therapy, Because Estrogen will not provide your body with the Testosterone it needs but Testosterone will create all the estrogen you need.

Injections and patches even pills can be a common ways to get Testosterone, but the Patches & creams are ineffective & irritate the skin and can be dangerous if they come in contact with children, pets or other people.

The Injection gives a severe SPIKE and then about 24-48 hours later a severe crash and will probably be SYNTHETIC hormones & that can be problematic too.

Most DRs are taught that ESTROGEN defines a woman & that the only remedy is more estrogen. The enlightened Dr is starting to understand that it is often best to give the body what it needs & let it make the estrogen. SYNTHETIC Estrogenhas been linked to elevated levels of Cancer in women, BE CAREFUL!
