Testosterone plays a significant role in women’s health and its decline during menopause can impact quality of life. While testosterone is often associated with male physiology, it is an important hormone for women. In fact, women produce three to four times as much testosterone than oestrogen before the menopause. It is the same hormone – women just produce lower amounts than men.
Our dedicated team at ClearMed Clinic offer comprehensive advice and guidance, helping you navigate your menopause journey for a positive and transformative experience. We offer private testosterone appointments with minimal wait times, ensuring you receive prompt answers and can begin the appropriate treatment plan quickly with the correct guidance and expertise. With our extensive experience, we prioritise making you feel at ease throughout the entire consultation and procedure.
Your health is our priority
For women who experience reduced libido despite being on adequate HRT, testosterone therapy might be considered. Testosterone is not licensed for use in women in the UK but may be prescribed off-label in low doses, typically as gels or implants. Before starting testosterone therapy, it is essential to check baseline blood levels and regularly monitor them throughout treatment to ensure that testosterone levels remain within therapeutic ranges.
Although side effects are rare when testosterone is used correctly, they can include weight gain, acne, and increased hair growth.
Regular follow-up with our healthcare provider is important to manage any potential side effects and to adjust treatment as
necessary.
At ClearMed Clinic, private prescriptions are available following a thorough clinical evaluation by our Specialist Doctor. This evaluation considers the individual benefits and potential risks for each patient. Our Doctor also recommends regular blood monitoring, typically conducted annually, to ensure ongoing safety and effectiveness of the prescribed treatment.
