How Proper Testosterone Replacement Therapy Can Affect The Female Body

When one becomes deficient in any hormone, it is optimal to replace it. Generally women will become deficient in progesterone and/or testosterone in their late 30′s to early 40′s. A lack of estrogen usually doesn’t occur until shortly before or at the menopause (average age of 51). Therefore, most women start first with replacing progesterone and/or testosterone and do not start using estrogen until they enter menopause. Replacing all three hormones after the menopause is usually necessary for optimal hormone balance. Replacing each hormone has a different effect on the body and brain. In this article, we’ll look at the effects of Testosterone Replacement for Women.
