Testosterone for women
Understanding testosterone and women’s health
Many people associate testosterone with men, but it’s an important hormone for women too.
During and after menopause, natural testosterone levels can decline, sometimes leading to symptoms such as:
Reduced sexual desire or satisfaction
Low energy or fatigue
Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
Lower mood or motivation
These symptoms often overlap with menopause or perimenopause and can significantly affect daily life, relationships, and confidence.
At Jaya Life, we offer evidence-based, compassionate care to help you understand whether testosterone treatment may be right for you, as part of a personalised, holistic plan for your long-term health.
When testosterone may help
The British Menopause Society (BMS) and NICE advise that testosterone may be considered for women who continue to experience low sexual desire or arousal despite adequate treatment with oestrogen and progestogen, if needed.
Some women also report improvements in:
Energy and motivation
Mood and clarity of thinking
Muscle strength and overall vitality
While research into these wider benefits continues, at Jaya Life, testosterone is only prescribed when clinically appropriate, following a detailed consultation and assessment of your overall hormone health.
Why specialist care matters
Testosterone therapy is an area that requires expert clinical care and careful monitoring. At Jaya Life, your care is led by Dr Lucy Mather, a women’s health specialist registered with the British Menopause Society, and a member of the International Menopause Society and British Society of Lifestyle Medicine.
Lucy brings nearly 20 years’ experience as a GP, women’s health and menopause specialist, with a holistic, evidence-based approach that considers the whole person, not just one hormone.
Her goal, and the founding vision of Jaya Life, is to help women make informed, confident decisions about their health, not through quick fixes, but through clarity, empowerment, and expert care.
Our consultations are longer and more comprehensive than your typical appointment, giving you the time and space to discuss everything you’ve been feeling.
