Testosterone has been shown to be safe and effective for women in the short- to medium-term when prescribed at the right dose and with regular monitoring. Most studies have followed women for up to 24 months, showing improvements in symptoms such as low libido without serious side effects. The main concerns are acne, excess hair growth, or hair thinning, which can usually be managed by adjusting the dose.

Evidence on long-term safety (beyond 2–3 years) is still limited, but ongoing studies are reassuring so far. Importantly, no increase in breast cancer or cardiovascular risk has been seen in the available data, though further research is needed.

Most patients see effects within 6–12 weeks.

Some women notice:

• Improved sexual desire and responsiveness
• Increased energy or motivation
• Improved sense of wellbeing or confidence

Not all women respond. If treatment is not helping, we reassess and stop safely.

Mild acne, increased hair growth, oily skin, or voice changes. Most are mild and reversible.
