Physiologic testosterone replacement improves mood and sexual function (libido, arousal, behavior/experience) in women with hypopituitarism.
For women with hypopituitarism and low testosterone, physiologic testosterone replacement improves mood, reduces depression, and enhances sexual function (libido, arousal, and sexual experience). These benefits occur without significant changes in cognitive function or body fat.
Mood (P < 0.029) and sexual function (P < 0.044) improved, as did some aspects of quality of life, but not cognitive function.
Why this rating
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design with statistically significant p-values.
