The reality of testosterone deficiency in women is finally being recognized (though testosterone excess is still under-recognized). While testosterone deficiency does not exist in every menopause type, when present it too can result in significant symptoms and increased health risks. In such cases restoration of function, or if need be replacement therapy, may be the best option. Symptoms
associated with testosterone deficiency are also associated with lifestyle
such as lack of exercise, inadequate rest, stress, smoking, under-hydration,
excessive caffeine or alcohol. Nutrient deficiencies brought on by dieting or
lifestyle may also precipitate some of these symptoms. In addition, other
endocrine dysfunctions, especially adrenal fatigue may be to blame for
the symptoms. At the very least, non-hormonal
interventions should always be considered as an option or as an adjunct to
natural hormone replacement therapy. |

Clinical Application: |
||||||
|
As valuable
as testosterone is in woman’s healthcare, other causes of symptoms should be
considered first. Lifestyle and nutritional review with the Patient Intake Form will help disclose these symptoms. Non-hormonal interventions should always be
considered as an option or as an adjunct to natural hormone replacement
therapy. |
