Testosterone Replacement Therapy
For Women
When women think of their hormonal levels, they usually think of estrogen and progesterone. While those play important roles in the female reproductive system, testosterone also plays an important factor in general health and hormonal balance. Low testosterone (low T) can have a negative impact on a woman’s overall health and wellness.
Aging, stress, menopause and other factors can diminish certain hormones, including testosterone or cortisol. These imbalances can interfere with other metabolic functions, and other hormone levels can be negatively affected.
Common Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Women
Low libido
Fatigue
Low muscle tone
Weight gain
Loss of mental focus, mental fogginess
Decreased bone density
Stress and depression
What Causes Low T in Women?
A woman’s testosterone levels typically peak while in their early 20s and then decrease naturally. This causes a decrease in sex drive, along with a wide range of other unwanted symptoms. More than half of women in their early 40s will see their testosterone levels drop by 50% or more. Low testosterone can also be caused by birth control pill use, which can suppress the natural ovarian production of estrogen, testosterone and progesterone.
Low testosterone in both women and men can cause a wide variety of symptoms including fatigue, weight gain, low libido and mental fogginess. Low levels of testosterone in women can often lead to an increased risk of osteoporosis, since low testosterone levels can leach away strength from the skeleton.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for women can also help protect against dilating blood vessels, cardiovascular events and increasing blood flow, as well as offer a reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes by lowering insulin resistance.
Low libido is one of the most common complaints among aging women. Studies show that treating women with testosterone can significantly improve their sex drive. In addition, testosterone therapy in menopausal women can relieve the symptoms of menopause, including incontinence, urinary urgency, vaginal dryness and hot flashes. It can also provide improved focus and mental clarity, reduced anxiety, reduced fatigue, improved bone density and increased lean muscle mass.
TRT In Tucson
At Tucson Wellness MD, we use only bioidentical testosterone replacement therapy for women (TRT). Since bio-identical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones a woman’s body naturally produces, hormones can be properly used and naturally metabolized and excreted by the body.

The Wrong Choice For TRT
There are a lot of “shot box clinics” in Tucson, offering quick and inexpensive TRT Therapy. They only administer a Total Testosterone test before treatment. It is outdated science and doesn’t provide a comprehensive picture of what is needed for safe, cutting-edge TRT Therapy. Without additional tests, you could experience testicular shrinkage and other unwanted side effects. There are often hidden fees for add-ons at these quickie clinics.

TRT at Tucson Wellness MD is overseen by Dr. Jon Minor MD and a team specializing in Science, Integrative Medicine, Nutrition and Biokinetics, along with a Concierge Clinic.
