In World Menopause Day: World Menopause Day 2019 the International Menopause Society explain:

“The theme of World Menopause Day 2019 is Testosterone for Women at Midlife. The information in the resources is from the Global Consensus Position Statement on the Use of Testosterone Therapy for Women, which was launched by the IMS on 2nd September 2019”.

On page one of the Patient Information Leaflet: Testosterone for Women At Midlife – Can Testosterone Really Help Us? the IMS elaborate on:

“Testosterone can help alleviate some health-related issues of menopause. Testosterone is a hormone common to both women and men, although men’s bodies produce much greater amounts. In women, testosterone is an essential hormone. Loss of sexual desire and satisfaction are common symptoms amongst postmenopausal women and testosterone, in a dose appropriate for women, can be very effective in improving sexual desire and satisfaction”.
