Testosterone

Symptoms of Excess and Deficiency 

 

Based on the book Natural Hormone Balance for Women by,  Dr. Uzzi Reiss, M.D. / O.B. GYN.   A doctor who specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, the signs of testosterone deficiency are:

  • Flabbiness and muscular weakness – most noticeable in upper arms and cheeks.
  • Hair loss
  • A lack of energy and stamina
  • Loss of balance and coordination
  • A loss of a sense of security
  • Indecisiveness
  • A decrease in sex drive, don’t seem to care about sex anymore
  • Poor body image
  • A decrease in arm pit, pubic and body hair

The symptoms of excess testosterone:

  • Aggressiveness and Bossiness – people accuse you of being pushy
  • Oily skin
  • Acne
  • Loss of head hair along with the growth of facial hair


 

 

I found these list to be helpful because it is not easy to find information regarding testosterone and women.  And since most women care a great deal about our weight, muscle tone and sex drive I found this to be a really important subject.

 

 

 

Testosterone replacement is provided by prescription via a medical doctor and usually only after you are first balanced with  estrogen and progesterone . 

 

Testosterone replacement comes in a number of forms including creams, gels, pills and sublingual drops. Bioidentical hormone replacement doctors


Before you start any hormone replacement therapy it is important to test your hormone levels. As you can see from the list above the side effects from either too much or too little testosterone can be problematic.
