Testosterone is very important for women. It is important not only because everyone wants to make love with the active participation of this hormone. There are many more arguments in favor of testosterone.
Testosterone and Women's Health
If a woman of 30 years has undergone surgery on her ovaries, then in percentage terms 70% of women after a few years the level of hormones decreases. It becomes almost the same as during menopause. Sad data.
What is especially worrying is that women remain delusional about their health for a long time. Friends and even doctors begin to assure you that it is okay if you have surgery at the age of about 30. They tell you that your ovaries are still normal and will work well even until you are 50. Do not believe this, such words are delusions of people who are certainly not informed.
Medical experts suggest that hormones drop to critically low levels because the uterine artery was pinched and cut during the hysterectomy, which means that blood will flow poorly to the ovaries. This means that they will not function well and produce testosterone.
Experts' opinion
If a woman starts estrogen therapy, the reserve and total amount of testosterone that previously circulated freely in the body decreases, which leads to negative consequences. Estrogen increases the amount of globulin protein that binds sex hormones.
Globulin, among other things, binds a very large amount, one might say, the main dose of testosterone. This explains why after a hysterectomy most beautiful girls and women lose muscle weight, their body becomes flabby and unattractive.
Due to lack of testosterone, muscles shrink, body fat increases, sexual desire, arousal and interest in the opposite sex are lost. Who would like this, please tell me?
[ Regulate your hormone supply
It is a misconception that people blame such sad outcomes on surgery. The truth is different. After surgery, you need to take the appropriate supplements in the right amounts, depending on the characteristics of your body. If you take supplements containing testosterone and estradiol, you will partially replenish the lack of hormones.
A doctor can help you do this.
Women, you know that, right?
Many doctors cannot settle their opinion on whether to prescribe testosterone to women or not. When writing prescriptions to patients, they do not yet know for sure whether to include testosterone in the prescription, and therefore women may receive not quite high-quality treatment. Dear women, you know that you need testosterone, just like your men?
Of course, men need testosterone much more than women, but this hormone is vital for women to maintain order in the body. However, modern women are very educated and know what and how they need to do so that the hormonal level in the body is complete and self-sufficient. Take hormone tests and find out the truth about your hormonal background.
When a doctor prescribes something, be sure to consult with him and ask him to prescribe medications that would compensate for the missing hormones and neutralize the excess of others.
Testosterone in moderation, love without borders
Having correctly regulated the amount of testosterone and other hormones necessary for a quality sex life and happiness in general, try to love yourself, do not resort to critical situations with hormonal background. Be happy, this will make those around you happy.
