Abstract in brief

  • This review examines whether testosterone therapy is effective and safe for improving sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women, based on studies called randomized controlled trials.
  • While menopause is clearly linked to estrogen deficiency, the specific role of testosterone during this period is less understood, though some trials suggest it may help improve sexual function.
  • However, concerns remain about potential side effects, such as increased bone density and changes in cholesterol levels, and the long-term safety of testosterone therapy in these women is still uncertain.]
