Testosterone (and other hormones) for WOMEN - understand when it's useful, the benefits and the dangers of abuse

Testosterone: Men and women need good levels!

True story: It's come to my attention that non-bioidentical testosterone “to increase libido” (injectable, usually quite potent, from what I've heard) is being recommended, but even without consulting a doctor to check whether it's really necessary (black market or prescription from a doctor friend). My advice: DON'T do this; the side and adverse effects in the medium and long term can be devastating!

✅ Testosterone for those who really need it can really help restore health, productivity and well-being (Find out here: https://icaro.med.br/?s=hormonios e https://icaro.med.br/?s=testosterona), but only in this condition and with well-guided use accompanied by a competent, up-to-date doctor. If used incorrectly and/or unnecessarily (as with all hormones), it can be very dangerous.

✅ We can often restore good hormone levels just by improving our lifestyle habits and keeping them good: in fact, this should always be the first step (I explain this here https://icaro.med.br/?s=Modulacao)!

Any use of hormones must be accompanied by good lifestyle habits, otherwise the body cannot properly carry out the “instructions” that the hormones are trying to convey.

✅ Female libido depends on various interests, “romance” (lol), factors such as stress, cycle phase, neurotransmitters (especially dopamine and serotonin), hormones (thyroid, estradiol, progesterone and testosterone), psychological factors... Acting on one of these factors if the problem is with others, won't work and could lead to problems!

Hormones should only be prescribed rationally and appropriately after taking into account complementary tests and the clinical picture. Otherwise, it may be inappropriate.

Always check doses, form of administration, quality of the substance administered, for how long, monitoring of effects, frequent dose adjustments, reassessment by tests: all this only a competent doctor can do for you - up to date and without prejudice.

✅ What is “good” for your neighbor may not be good or even catastrophic for you! Don't fall for the “this is always good for that” line - each human being is unique and reacts differently to what comes from the external environment!
