Testosterone (Women)

Within a few weeks to months, many women notice:

• Improved energy and motivation
• Increased libido and sexual satisfaction
• Better mood and reduced irritability
• More mental focus and clarity
• Enhanced sense of well-being

With consistent use, testosterone may help:

• Preservation of muscle mass and strength
• Improved bone density
• Better metabolic health (e.g., blood sugar and fat metabolism)
• Potential protection against cognitive decline
• Support for healthy aging

• Total and Free Testosterone
• Estradiol
• DHEA-S
• SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
• CBC (Complete Blood Count)
• Liver function (AST, ALT if needed)

Your doctor will determine the right timing for testing (usually baseline and then follow-up every 3–6 months).

• Mild acne or oily skin
• Hair growth in unwanted areas (if dose is too high)
• Mild voice changes (rare at appropriate doses)
• Clitoral sensitivity or enlargement (dose-dependent and often temporary)

Side effects usually resolve when the dose is adjusted. Always report anything unusual.

• New or worsening acne that is painful, cystic, or spreading rapidly
• Unusual or persistent hair loss on the scalp
• Deepening of the voice or hoarseness that doesn't go away
• Excessive hair growth on the face, chest, or abdomen
• Enlarged clitoris or discomfort in that area
• Mood changes such as increased irritability, aggression, or anxiety
• Persistent or heavy vaginal bleeding (especially postmenopausal women)
• Signs of liver issues, such as yellowing of the skin/eyes, dark urine, or upper right abdominal pain
• Swelling in the legs or sudden shortness of breath (could indicate a blood clot—rare but serious)

While many symptoms resolve with dose adjustments, it’s important to catch issues early and fine-tune therapy under professional supervision.

• Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding
• Follow dosing instructions carefully—more is not better
• Monitor hormone levels regularly
• Notify your provider of any significant changes in mood, bleeding patterns, or skin reactions

• Use as indicated by your doctor.
