Testosterone
This isn’t about becoming aggressive—it’s about feeling like yourself again. Many women report improved libido, confidence, and energy. But because it’s off-label in the U.S., it requires close monitoring and often comes through compounding pharmacies.
Low-dose testosterone therapy can help with low libido and other symptoms of androgen deficiency in postmenopausal women—though it’s not FDA-approved in the U.S. for women.
Women produce testosterone too—it just drops significantly in midlife. For some, supplementing with a small dose can restore sexual desire and improve quality of life. Doses must be carefully calibrated to avoid side effects like acne or hair growth.
Avoid if you have hormone-sensitive cancers, acne-prone skin, or a history of hair loss or liver disease
Acne, oily skin, hair growth, voice deepening (rare), clitoral enlargement (rare, usually dose-related)
Usually applied as a pea-sized dab of cream to the inner thigh or vulva. Blood levels should be monitored every 3–6 months.
None FDA-approved in U.S. for women; often custom compounded
