Importance Of Normal Testosterone Levels In Females

Even though most people refer to testosterone as only a man’s hormone, it is also necessary for women. Yes, it is primarily for men, but the importance of normal testosterone levels in females should never be overlooked. Women need testosterone for the following reasons:

Strong sexual libido	Strong immune system
Reduction of hot flashes	Less sickness like the cold or the flu
Reduction of night sweats	Ability to maintain a healthy weight
Elimination of vaginal dryness	Strong bone mineral density
Ability to fantasize	Less risk for developing osteoporosis
Stronger skin elasticity	Lower cholesterol
Less facial wrinkles	Less risk for heart disease, heart attack or stroke
Less noticeable crow’s feet around eyes	Lower triglyceride levels
Less sagging of skin	Less risk for developing diabetes
Healthier hair	Better ability to manage diabetes
Nails that grow strong	Stronger memory
An overall more youthful looking appearance	Less forgetfulness
Emotional stability	An overall stronger mental acuity
Less mood swings	Growing organs
Less irritability	Better ability to sleep soundly at night
Less agitation	Less sleep disturbances
Less depression and anxiety	Greater ability to concentrate and focus
Lowering of stress levels

The symptoms that occur when female testosterone levels become too low are not much different, if at all different than what happens to men with low T. Women just need less of the hormone running through their systems. When they participate in testosterone replacement therapy, they will receive a prescription for a cream and not injections.

Let’s look at what normal, low and high levels of testosterone in women should look like.
