There are a variety of supplements to testosterone such as a monthly injection and a cream (called androgel).  The reprocussions of andropause other than the lack of sex drive is muscle wasting, shrinkage of the testicles, and demineralization of the bone.  \n\nTalk to your primary care provider regarding this issue for more answers.

Women do have testosterone, about 1/10th the amount men have - and testosterone can measured as both free and total \n\n\nwomem make testosterone in the adrenal gland mostly and too a small extent ovaries \n\na woman may have around 2-80 ng/ml free testosterone - it varies greatly and no more testosterone does not equal more butch!\n\nInteresting the amount varies through a woman's cycle and when she has more testosterone it does correlate with higher libido

Yes, women can take creatine too.  I use to take it when I workout, but I don't anymore.  I didn't want to get bulky, so I stopped.  It's totally safe for women to take.  Read the dosage on the back of the bottle or ask a Rep. in a Vitamin are GNC store.

Danger!\n\nAnabolic steroids are illegal in the USA ... for a good reason too!!! Do u like South Park??? They did a funny and true show about steroids.  \n\nSure they do increase the testosterone while you take it and give you an opportunity to lift more weights ... but the long term effects <in 6 months after use> they destroy you.  First, your male genitals shrink!!! Yes, they do ... Second, the testosterone will eventually overproduce, causing a testosterone blockage, thereby increasing estrogen <women hormone's> then you'll cry like a baby ... eventually, you'll get man t i t s ... then when you're in you're forties, you'll suffer from heart attacks!!!\n\nSee a doctor for real ways to get muscle!!!

It's dangerous to take testosterone or growth hormone to the point that your body exceeds normal levels.  Steroids are dangerous to take period.  Prohormones and various "legal" types of steroids are all fraudulant.\n\nAs men (and women!) get older, they tend to become DEFICIENT in growth hormone.  Sometimes, men become deficient in testosterone (rare).  Some of the warning signs of hormone insufficiency are loss of libido and failure to benefit or recover from exercise.  If your husband has big bulging muscles, that ain't him, btw.  Anyway, if you suspect this, go see an endocrinologist that specializes in growth hormone supplementation (they advertise on the web).  He will pull a hormone panel on your husband and treat accordingly.\n\nMore likely, failure to recover from exercise is a result of not enough CoQ10 or carnitine in your muscles.  Various additives (example, MSG) and certain medicines (example, statin drugs) leech these vital nutrients out of muscle tissue (including your heart....eeek).  Supplementation with the fixes the problem.

There are several different options if you want to go natural. The first link below is to Puritan's Pride, an excellent website for vitamins and herbs. I know Black Cohosh is good for you when you lack estrogen. The other link may be helpful too. There are also foods rich in estrogen and some that take away your estrogen. The second link will give you a full list of both. Hope it helps. God bless!

There are herbal formulas available that can help.  'Wild Yam has natural estrogen in it for instance and that can help.  Also, start using progesterone cream.  You can get those things at health food stores or order them on the internet.  I use soy milk myself as well but it has a high fat content and the estrogen is in the fat so you cant use nonfat.  Good luck.  It sucks, I know.

hormones unfortunaly can affect some women a great deal.  if a woman seems to have a great deal of emotional problems related to her hormones she should see a doctor there are things that can be done to help out.  there are also things she can do on her own to help such as eating lots of fresh fruits and vegitables daily all month longs all the time, getting plently of clean water, avoiding too much salt and avoiding high fat and maintaining a healthy body weight.

You need to go to a doctor, get all your levels and liver checked, etc before it would be safe to do this. If you get too much testosterone in your system it can be turned into estrogen. Some men who take too much T, thinking it will make them manlier, wind up with boobs and rotten livers.

You're going to need to take thyroxin or another hormone replacement drug.  See an endocrinologist.

I think you should discuss it with your doctor... There probably are estrogen pills you can take, but be aware of the consequences.
