In this episode of Sky Women’s Health Podcast, Dr. Carolyn Moyers explores groundbreaking research on the effects of transdermal testosterone therapy on mood and cognitive symptoms in peri- and postmenopausal women. We discuss the large retrospective observational study led by UK Menopause Specialist Dr. Louise Newson, set to be presented at the Annual European Congress on Menopause and Andropause in Florence, Italy.
Study Highlights:
- Testosterone significantly improves mood-related symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, concentration, and memory in menopausal women.
- Testosterone is not just a "male" hormone, but a vital one for women, with wide-ranging benefits beyond low libido.
- Testosterone should be considered as part of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women with persistent symptoms despite standard HRT.
- Testosterone was associated with a 47% improvement in mood-related symptoms, a 45% improvement in anxiety, and significant gains in concentration, memory, and energy.
The study's results indicate that testosterone can play a crucial role in women's mental and emotional well-being during the menopause transition.
