In the early 2000s, hormonal treatments for menopause fell out of favor, but they seem to be rebounding with notable attention.
People think that hormone treatments replace declining estrogen levels, but in premenopausal women, there is actually more testosterone than estrogen.
Like estrogen, testosterone levels also decline over time, and after menopause, lower levels contribute to a loss of bone density and energy. Some doctors prescribe testosterone to treat these menopausal symptoms, although the FDA has not approved a product for this use, largely because there is not yet much research data to support it. .
