Menopause symptoms can be treated by using estrogen, but not all women can handle progesterone. In such cases, a progesterone-coated IUD is used as an alternative.
The use of low synthetic estrogen in premenopausal women to control symptoms is common, while the use of testosterone is not. Clitoral enlargement and other side effects are not typical and are only considered in cases of staggeringly low levels of testosterone.
In this podcast episode, the speaker talks about the factors that should be considered before prescribing testosterone as a treatment option to men of any age. The speaker highlights the importance of proper sleep, exercise, nutrition, and social connections in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
