Some women turn to testosterone to treat sex drive & depression – NBC2 News

Testosterone has been helping men in the bedroom for years, but now, some doctors are prescribing testosterone to women.

Weve been treating men for low testosterone, said Dr. Meir Daller of Gulfstream Urology. Those men come home and the women say Wow he feels great, hes energetic, hes a different person, his mood swings are gone, and they say, Hey, I also want to feel great.'

Some medical experts believe testosterone can treat things like lack of energy, weight gain, and low libido. Its given to patients in multiple ways: creams, gels, injections, and pellets.

Testosterone is a controlled substance, Dr. Daller said. You should never get it from a buddy at the gym or from your friend. Besides the fact that its illegal, it can be dangerous. You need to check hormones, you need to have someone monitor them.

When people start using testosterone, male or female, you need to continue to stay on it for life.

Once they get on these treatments, you know most women within three months are feeling significant differences, said Mel Irvine, ARNP of Revitalize.
