Testosterone for low sexual desire in premenopausal women
Record ID 32010000903
English
Authors' objectives:
Administration of exogenous testosterone has been investigated as a treatment for low sexual desire in women. Endogenous androgens, produced in women by the ovaries, adrenal glands, and in peripheral tissue, are thought to play a role in the regulation of sexual desire. Although the precise relationship between testosterone levels and sexual desire in women is not clear, the goal of testosterone therapy is to increase sexual desire.
