testosterone replacementGuardian
•66% Informative
Only evidence-based indication for testosterone use in women is for low sexual desire.
There are insufficient data to support its use for other symptoms or disease prevention.
Because of this, few GPs are willing to prescribe it.
But women are getting hold of it through private or online clinics.
Experts are concerned that women aren’t being fully counselled about potential risks.
Dr Nighat Arif, a GP with a specialist interest in women’s health, said: “At the end of the day , you are using some hormone to replace what you feel is necessary to have replaced back to you.” Superdrug added that patients must confirm the truthfulness of the medical information they submit.
