Testosterone for a Healthy Libido in Women and Men

February 11, 2020

Testosterone for a Healthy Libido in Women and MenValentine’s Day is a time for loving gestures and date night with your spouse. However, are you not feeling very romantic these days? You seem to have lost your desire for physical intimacy with your husband or wife, and aren’t quite sure how to get it back. Don’t lose hope. This can occur as you go through life, and we will share with you a very common cause of low libido that can be reversed.

Low libido refers to a lack of sexual desire, and can be caused by various factors such as fatigue, depression, illness, relationship issues, hormonal decline and imbalance, and even by prescription drug side effects.

Testosterone

The hormone testosterone plays a key role for a healthy libido in both men and women. Yes, that’s right, women, too. Testosterone, known as the hormone of desire, has the strongest effect on libido.

Men

Testosterone is primarily known as the male sex hormone. A man’s testosterone and sex drive peak in his teens and twenties. As a man ages, his testosterone levels naturally decline. Low testosterone levels can lead to lack of sex drive and erectile dysfunction.

Watch as Dr. Hotze discusses as he discusses the symptoms and causes of low libido in men:

Women

There’s one thing that most people don’t associate with a woman’s libido, and that’s testosterone. Women actually make testosterone in their ovaries and adrenal glands. In women of reproductive age, testosterone levels peak at ovulation, stimulating a woman’s desire for sex.

Times in a Woman’s Life that Can Cause Testosterone to Decline

Aging: As women age, their testosterone levels begin to decline.

Hysterectomy: About one-half of a woman’s testosterone is produced in her ovaries. When women undergo a total hysterectomy, they immediately lose 50% percent of their circulating testosterone.  Now you can see how having your ovaries removed during a hysterectomy can decrease your sex drive.

Estrogen Dominance: Women who experience estrogen dominance, an imbalance of progesterone and estrogen, suffer from low testosterone. When a woman becomes estrogen dominant, she begins to experience menstrual cycles without ovulation, which means that she misses out on the elevation in testosterone that normally comes with ovulation. To make matters worse, estrogen dominance increases the liver’s production of sex-hormone binding globulins. These sex-hormone binding goblins attach to the small amount of testosterone in circulation effectively preventing testosterone from entering the cells.

Watch as Dr. Hotze discusses the side effects of having a hysterectomy:

Restore Your Romantic Moods and Inclinations

The key to improving low libido caused by hormone deficiency such as testosterone is to supplement with bioidentical hormones to restore hormone levels to those of a healthy young man or woman.

I’ve been a guest at this facility for 15 years. They are the most efficient, thorough and caring group of individuals I’ve ever experienced. Dr Hotze looks to change the way a typical doctor treats patients and looks for root causes to eliminate medical issues instead of treating “symptoms”. My life has improved 100% since my initial visit. The cost of the treatments are worth it.

I cannot accurately describe in words how I feel about this practice and the entire staff. I have had quite a few health issues throughout the years, rheumatoid arthritis, sjogrens, weight gain, hair loss, irritability, and that is just the beginning. I had pretty much given up on feeling good, just decided to "live with it" and hope for the best. Two very close friends love the Hotze Wellness Clinic and they have experienced life changing health. Made my appointment and from the beginning I felt heard. Not a in and out fast food style practice. They are looked and are looking at my entire body for overall health and wellness. Connections from mind and body to clinical blood work, even dental questions....they care and I feel as if I can trust them. I am on a path to complete wellness and my goal is to have my RA back in remission as it once was....make yourself a priority. Having hope is an incredible feeling!
