- The International Menopause Society is proud to provide the interview series for women on current topics of interest in the field of menopause.
In the series, IMS Board Member Dr. Marla Shapiro interviews renowned experts on menopause and midlife women’s health.
In this episode Prof. Susan Davis will talk about “Is testosterone the answer to low libido?”
Loss of interest in sex is common in midlife women. This can be due to many things, eg life or relationship stress, medication side-effects and effects of menopause. Testosterone may help some postmenopausal women with low libido. This recording provides information that will help you to speak to your doctor about any concerns you may have about sex.

Straight and to the point. Exactly what most women want,
Really informative video, thank you.
100% difference! Finally feeling like myself again!
Which one do you take ?ty
@@MS-sr1fe I have the Biote pellets inserted every 3 months.
@@joinjaimie what is the dosage , of test in those servings for women. I too I’ve had my life altered through incorporating low dosages of testosterone. It is miraculous.
@Cristobal Colon I had blood drawn to determine my current test level and then given the amount of Biote pellets to boost me at a healthy level. It took several draws over the past 6 months to find my sweet spot and how much I needed. If you are very active and workout, you may burn through them faster. Or at least that was my case.
I use it and it works for me !
Had hysterectomy menopausal now on testosterone injections so much happier now the sex drive has dramatically increased an the energy.
I would really like to know the name of your doctor and how much testosterone they gave you. I have been dealing with low libido for about six years i’m 56 I finally got my God ecologist to give me 5 mg a day cream compounded up from .05 mg what a waste of money that was. I would even be satisfied with a man’s version using only 1/10 that dose. Any tips would be appreciated thank you. Patty Cappabianca
Hello I found a wellness clinic that specialize in testosterone pellets or testosterone injections
@@pattycappabianca9656 the generic Androgel is only $20 a bottle and lasts months. But they try to give you antidepressants and other crap. Don’t let them. Demand healthcare! Don’t do pellets because you can’t adjust the dose. You may be stuck with “roid” rage for 3 month. Or 3 month of ineffectiveness if the dose is too low.
@@pattycappabianca9656 me too. Was on .5 mg for 2 years.felt nothing. Now upped to 2.5 mg .2 weeks now.lets see.its compounded. Ty
@@angelawilliams4227 did you become by sexual after taking this substance
Im 53 2 yrs post menopause..currently on trt feel amazing but im conversion to estrogen is thru the roof
Pls help!!! I dont want to stop the trt
Can women with PCOS usually have high testosterone, I am HRT and I am also post menopause and have no libido...nil. HELP!
I'm not a doctor, but yes you can have high testosterone. Check your levels first. If it's low, ask your doctor for the lowest dose. Better yet look for natural alternatives and try lifting weights. Resistance training can boost your testosterone slightly. It's worth a try. 😊
Great insights Prof! It's surprising that Tongkat Ali isn't more widely recognized, especially given its benefits for women. In my family, relying on herbal and natural remedies and supplements has been a tradition for generations. For women, Tongkat Ali offers a plethora of advantages, including serving as an anti-aging supplement for overall revitalization, reducing unwanted weight gains by targeting body fat, enhancing libido and sexual health, promoting stronger lean muscle mass, boosting energy and stamina, improving athletic performance, enhancing mood while reducing stress, tension, and anxiety, as well as alleviating symptoms like hot flashes and joint pain associated with menopause. It's truly a versatile solution! I encourage everyone to give it a try; it might just help you!
Does anyone know if one can get a testosterone prescription from a family physician in Canada? I am currently on HRT (Estradot and Prometrium), but have not found it effective since starting 6 years ago.
My wife takes an injection called despamen it raises your sex drive in women but the problem is that it is only sold in Mexico also you have to check your testosterone level before taking it.
did you find help yet?... I'm also looking
Can a women experience hair loss when Taking prescribed doses of testosterone?
What about premenopausal please
Yes!!
I'm currently on a estradiol patch and have a progesterone only IUD because my staining wouldn't let up along with other negative side effects that I was dealing with like bloating, tender breasts and weight gain. My labs show super low testosterone I am 57 and post menopausal. However, my gyno only uses pellets for testosterone but I don't want to go that rout. She offers me no alternative. What are my options as I defintly feel I can benefit from testosterone therapy.
Try a compound pharmacy
Getting my estrogen level up to even the basic minimum of 300 (range is 300 - 800, apparently), gave me back a good libido, after 10 yrs doemant. I'm now also using testosterone too, for libido and other health benefits. But it seems the estrogen really got things going! 😉
any libido increase from testosterone might be due to its conversion to estrogen or the freeing of bound estrogen.
It is for SO much MORE than simply low libido!
Gosh, this is such a narrow view. Not embracing new research at all.
We have testosterone receptors all over our bodies. Helps with self-confidence, mood, bone health, heart health, etc. Please get someone who is more progressive in their thinking.
02:00 - Compounded Testosterone (untested in terms of their absorption)
05:50 - Not everyone woman will benefit.
Here in Portugal, compounded Testosterone is the ONLY option. And not to be dismissed. The bashing of compounded medicine is an agenda of Big Pharma to discredit that which is not produced by them. There are many compounding pharmacists who treat their profession with great integrity and precision.
I am 52 and currently on estrogen and progesterone but went to my dr. telling her of my other problems described in this video, she tested my testosterone and it was low but she was not willing to give me a prescription, I need help!!! anyone able to share how to get the testosterone as described in this video here in Canada PLEASE🙏
I am 51 with the same situation. The doctor is against it . He said you will lose more hair and your voice with be changed.
@maysmith7994 just goes to show you how uneducated our Dr's are on this subject!
@@Sammy-kf2lg I agree. I don't trust them. A bid group of them don't care and the next group do not have the knowledge.
@@maysmith7994 so true!...are you from Canada?
@@Sammy-kf2lg Germany. I am looking to get it online but it's risky. The one from pharmacy need a prescription . My muscles are so week. They get tired when I use the stairs and go one floor up, I have zero sex drive, I have bad headache, I have them for 3 days every time. I have severe hair loss and joints pain but they don't give it to me. I spoke to my Endocrinologist yesterday he said I won't give to you and that is it. He was just after 600 euro blood test. Useless
Blood work will show the levels.
Dr igho medication and Experience helped speed up my healing process, i wonder what might have become of me if i hadn't come across your Channel on UA-cam. God bless you Dr Igho for helping me cure my Diseases naturally, God bless you
Panex Ginseng (500 mg). You’ll thank me later.
My wife won't take anything for her menopause, she is 3 yrs in, constant hot flushes, mood swings, no sex drive. She thinks all hrt therapies are toxic and will have negative side effects. She thinks her sex drive will just reappear once her menopause has ended, I don't believe this is so. I wish she would try something, if for nothing else than to reduce the moodiness.
Sounds frustrating!
Please educate yourself and your wife, this thought process is a slippery slope and can be dangerous in the end. However I must applaud her faith
Nope, sex drive will not come back post menopause. HRT is needed.
My wife takes an injection called despamen it raises sex drive in women but the problem is that it is only sold in Mexico also you have to check your testosterone level before taking it.
Tell her to take Vitex (chaste berry) and Panex Ginseng. It will up and balance her hormones and her sex drive will return in 2 weeks. Take twice a day for two weeks and then she should be able to do once a day. This is all natural.
I disagree with her about compounded testosterone……it certainly will show up in your labs…..that’s kind of stupid for her to speak…..the pellets are a horrible, that certainly is wayyyyyy too much when it’s inserted.
