The role of androgens in menopausal hormonal replacement

A M Kaunitz. Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 1997 Jun.

Abstract

Androgen therapy may improve libido and psychologic symptoms in hypogonadal women. Such replacement may also cause undesirable lipoprotein changes and virilizing side effects. By detailing the benefits and risks, this article may help the clinician determine the role of androgen therapy as a supplement to conventional estrogen/progestin replacement in menopausal women.
