Testosterone for women: certainties and uncertainties

S R Davis. Climacteric. 2023 Feb.

Abstract

The clinical effects of testosterone in women have expanded from the field of androgen excess to consideration of testosterone action and the consequences of depletion and replacement. This article is not a comprehensive review of the vast and increasing literature in this field. Rather, it summarizes some of what is known of testosterone in women that the author elected to highlight in a plenary lecture and is hopefully informative, but not to be considered conclusive.

Keywords: Testosterone; androgen therapy; hormone therapy.
