Estrogen is a sex hormone that helps maintain women’s sexual and reproductive health. Estrogen levels change during the menstrual cycle and decline during menopause. The shift of these levels can have dramatic effects on a woman’s physical and mental health

Women actually make more testosterone than estrogen. Low testosterone levels in women can be the cause of decreased libido and an inability to achieve orgasm. As a woman ages and goes through menopause, this drop in testosterone can also be the source of joint pain and other menopausal symptoms. In addition, women who are younger than menopausal age may also benefit from testosterone replacement, which also helps with mood, fatigue and vitality.

Although you may desire relief from the symptoms that your hormones are causing, it is important that the treatment is safe for you. Not all women experiencing the effects of menopause can do hormone replacement therapy.
