research Changes in Androgen Levels in Menopausal Women
Menopausal women have higher androgen levels, which can cause symptoms like facial hair growth and low sexual desire.
research Androgen Treatment in Women
Testosterone therapy can help postmenopausal women with low sexual desire but needs more safety research and should be used with estrogen therapy.
research Impact of Hormones on Female Sexual Function and Dysfunction
Hormones significantly affect women's sexual function, and more research is needed to improve treatments for sexual dysfunction with minimal side effects.
research Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance
Mutations in the glucocorticoid receptor gene cause reduced sensitivity to glucocorticoids and may lead to poor response to treatment.
research The Therapeutic Use of Androgens in Women
Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Rooster Feathering, Androgenic Alopecia, And Hormone-Dependent Tumor Growth: What Is In Common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research Androgen Treatment in Women
Testosterone therapy can help with androgen deficiency in women but should be used with caution and monitoring due to potential risks.
research Androgen Treatment in Women: A Review of Testosterone Therapy and Its Effects
Testosterone therapy can help improve sexual function, mood, and bone density in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on long-term safety.
research Targets to Treat Androgen Excess in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
