Testosterone Replacement Therapy For Women

Testosterone is now an important evidence- based therapy for hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in menopausal patients.  Dr. Taylor can help determine if you are a postmenopausal patient that would benefit from FDA approved testosterone replacement.  Part of the treatment is to deterine the biological, psychosocial, and interpersonal contributing factors to HSDD before starting testosterone therapy. 

Testosterone therapy has only been approved for HSDD in the menopausal patients. A patient's levels are monitored regulary to ensure that the levels do not exceed premenopausal physiological levels. If superphysiological levels (abnormally high) levels are reached, the risks can be non reversible deepening of one's voice and enlargement of the clitoris into a samll phallus.  Dr. Taylor will ensure you are receiving appropriate doses.
