Re: Excessive Testosterone for women too

[Guest guest]

Hi,

The wife has been receiving a balance of both testosterone and

estrogen pellets for more than 10 years. This balance of hormone is

typical of what a woman enjoys in middle age before menopause.

Typcically 4 25mg E pellets and 3 75mg T pellets as the max dosage for

larger gals. These pellets last typically 4 month are require on other

patient daily or weekly involvement. $250/visit is typical.

This need for balancing of both hormones for women after menopause has

mostly been overlooked since the start of HTR for women. Some few well

informed endocrinologists have been using this approach for decades.

The benefits for the woman are physiological and sexual. The addition

of T brings back libido is it has been low.
