Testosterone for Women: Yes vs No
Adding low-dose testosterone to BHRT is provider-reviewed when libido, energy, or body composition fail to respond to optimized estrogen and progesterone. It is not first-line, and is dosed at female-physiologic levels.
Add testosterone when symptoms (libido, energy, body composition) persist after estrogen and progesterone are optimized and biomarkers confirm low-normal testosterone.
Explore pathwayEstrogen + progesterone alone is the modern default first-line BHRT regimen.
