What are the Benefits of Testosterone HRT for Women? Real Users Report!

I’ve never tried testosterone HRT myself. Apparently my levels are ‘fine’ and ‘normal’ which I find very frustrating as recently I have really felt that I will benefit from it.

However, lots of people in our menopause community have tried testosterone and rave about it.

So I posted this TikTok and asked real users to comment and let others know how it helped them, so we could get real answers on the benefits of testosterone HRT for women.

The British Menopause Society writes about the benefits of testosterone HRT for women here.

A little more about testosterone HRT for Women

In the UK women are only prescribed testosterone HRT for low sex drive. This is because there is not any research around other benefits of testosterone for women. It does make you think doesn’t it… low sex drive will effect a man, let’s research that and not all the other benefits of testosterone HRT for women….

It’s massively under researched, along with many other areas of women’s health. So I think this little bit of research we have done ourselves on the benefits of testosterone HRT for women is really useful.

I have even turned it into a pie chart for you, which apparently is very simple to do!

I have also written about how long HRT takes to work, and got real users to comment.

Personally, I think those benefits of testosterone HRT for women are incredible and I am not surprised to see that libido is not actually at the top.

If you’re struggling with low energy and want something a little more natural I think Lions Mane is really great a little energy and productivity boost. You can get this on boots.com or our Amazon or just our website!

If you think you might need testosterone HRT you firstly need to book an appointment with your GP. They will want to do bloodwork to check your levels, if they are low I think they would be open to subscribing it however I don’t hear of many people with ‘normal’ or ‘in range’ levels getting it.

I was not offered it, even though my levels were at the low end, they were still within range. Frustrating as I was suffering with very low energy and motivation, napping just to get through the day!

The other problem is I did not go to my GP with a low libido, had I known before going in that that is the main reason for them prescribing it, I may have mentioned it. I tried to back track and add that, but to no avail! 🙈

So if you feel you would benefit from the benefits of testosterone HRT for women, I would really think about how it is affecting your libido before you go in! I mean, it’s so subjective anyway! Define low libido… one person’s low libido could be high to someone else.

There we go, my thought and real benefits of testosterone HRT summed up!
