Testosterone, although considered to be primarily a male sex hormone is very important to be present in a small amount in women. Without enough, women will show signs and have symptoms that can be rather unpleasant. Here are some of these symptoms.
A low testosterone level in women can cause sexual symptoms such as:
| Loss of sexual libido | Vaginal dryness |
| Lack of interest in sexual activity altogether | Inability to fantasize |
| Inability to reach orgasm |
Below normal testosterone levels in women can cause symptoms that can be physical such as:

With these problems can come a loss of relationships, loss of social activities, loss of jobs and more. A person can also lose their self esteem, self confidence and self worth leading to depression.
