Why are men encouraged to monitor their testosterone levels while women are often told not to bother checking theirs? On this episode of Redefining Medicine, OB/GYN Dr. Tara Scott, MD, takes on the double standard surrounding testosterone treatment for women and why it's time for the conversation to change. From cognition and mood to libido and vaginal health, testosterone can play an important role in women's health. Yet women often face significant barriers when it comes to testing, treatment, and access to appropriate dosing. Dr. Scott explores the history of testosterone research for women, including a promising 300-microgram patch that never received FDA approval despite positive data and no major safety concerns identified in the research discussed. So, what needs to change? Dr. Scott dives into the knowledge gap surrounding testosterone in women's health and the importance of helping more OB/GYNs gain the education and confidence to appropriately evaluate and address their patients' hormone needs. Could greater education and research finally help close the gap in women's hormone care? Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges the status quo and asks why women are still being left out of the testosterone conversation.
