The loss of testosterone has long been related to problems resulting from prostate cancer treatments, aging, and more. Testosterone replacement therapy has become a topic among men seeking to enhance their s*x drives, regain muscle mass, and vibrancy in their lives.
Just as estrogen is a crucial hormone for men, testosterone is an important hormone for women, instrumental in the development of bones, muscles and s*xual function. With less available testosterone, women may have fewer erotic thoughts and less motivation to pursue s*xual pleasure; some of the mechanisms that make s*x feel good can falter, such as the production of nitric oxide, a molecule that relaxes the muscles around the cl****is and allows for greater blood flow.
For men experiencing the effects of low testosterone the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved more than 30 products since the 1950s; and yet, to this day, there is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone cream, patch, pill or shot for women, even though their testosterone levels fall far more precipitously than men’s as they age.
High-quality research has shown that testosterone can meaningfully revive s*x drive when prescribed in doses that restore women to roughly the levels they had in their late 30s.

There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won’t cover it. Many doctors won’t prescribe it. It’s become a cultural phenomenon.
