TRT Therapy for Women: Who Needs It?
TRT therapy is an innovation which can provide a woman with higher life quality in adult age. It is designed to normalize Testosterone levels in women by adding some substitutes of natural hormones and boosting the production of Testosterone in the glands of the body.
Some may think that Testosterone is not a must for women, yet, it’s a wrong opinion. Today, lots of women suffer from negative symptoms caused by Testosterone deficiency. This is especially true for women in perimenopause and menopause periods, when the levels of these hormones reduce. Besides, sometimes hormonal imbalances can start even in reproductive age, and TRT can be helpful when a woman over 30 experiences a lack of Testosterone.
The Main Essence of Testosterone in Women’s Bodies
Testosterone belongs to a group of hormones known as androgens, for the synthesis of which cholesterol, zinc, and vitamin D3 are required. It circulates in the blood as a precursor, capable of converting to other types of androgens or estrogen.
Testosterone, having bound to its receptor, penetrates the cell and, under the influence of the enzyme, turns into an active form and can manifest its active biological effect. In women, Testosterone impacts the regulation of sexual functions and libido. But that’s not all! Besides, Testosterone, along with estrogens and progesterone, is an active participant in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and ovulation in women of reproductive age. It also boosts the production of red blood cells in the marrow and helps in building muscles. It also impacts stress resistance and cognitive functions in women.
Thus, you can see that its impact is diverse, and it is critically important for a female body.
The Main Symptoms Which Alarm Women They Are Testosterone-Deficient
Despite Testosterone not the most indispensable hormone in women, its lack can lead to considerable changes in lifestyle and result in various symptoms which spoil the quality of life. You should get worried in case you are experiencing the following ones:
- Low energy even if you are not working hard.
- Feeling of constant tiredness.
- Low libido.
- Dry skin or acne appeared suddenly.
- Depression issues.
- Sleep losses.
- Weight gain for no reason.

All of them are signals your body makes to show you have problems with Testosterone production.
The Main Types of TRT Methods We Use for Treatment in Women
In our TRT therapy clinic, we use several methods of TRT intake which show the highest efficiency due to our medical research.
- TRT injections using bioidentical substitutes to natural hormones. These methods help to administer Testosterone easily and directly to the bloodstream. This method helps to cope with a considerable lack of hormones.
- TRT topical methods, which are patches and gels. They are administered mildly through the skin and help to cope with light Testosterone deficits.
We decide on which method will suit you the best according to your health condition and current hormone test results.
Alternative Treatment Methods and How to Use Them
In women, Testosterone levels can drop due to some disorders or even if your lifestyle is far from healthy. Our doctors evaluate the severity of low-T symptoms and select the treatment methods which will be both comfortable for you and effective. These can include alternatives to TRT for women, such as:
- Changes in lifestyle i.e., sleep normalization, diet, higher physical exercise loads, etc.
- Food supplements to boost hormone production.
- Alternative medicine methods like massages, acupuncture, and so on.
Of course, separately these alternatives won’t show great results, but they can accompany TRT therapy to make it even more effective.
