Perimenopause and Low Testosterone: Even Woman May Experience Low T

October 13, 2013 //  by Dr Hagmeyer

Perimenopause and Low Testosterone:

The Importance Of Low Testosterone During Perimenopause. The major sex hormones that women produce during their fertile years are estrogen and progesterone. These regulate the menstrual cycle and sustain pregnancy. When perimenopause symptoms begin, it is because your ovaries start slowing down the production of estrogen and progesterone. Therefore, you hear a lot about these hormones relating to perimenopause. But there is one more major hormone behind your perimenopause symptoms that you might not know about  testosterone.

Testosterone is typically known as the male sex hormone. It is produced in small amounts by your ovaries and plays an important role in female hormone balance, especially in fueling your libido. Symptoms that indicate testosterone levels are on the decline are a decreased sex drive, reduced sensitivity and sexual pleasure, and even depression or loss of pubic hair.

Testosterone Levels and Perimenopause Symptoms: What You Need to Know

As your ovaries slow down production when perimenopause approaches, testosterone levels start to decline. The most obvious perimenopause symptoms are caused by declining levels of estrogen and progesterone, but low testosterone can cause symptoms like:

  • Lowered libido
  • Reduced sexual arousal
  • Reduced sensitivity in erogenous zones
  • Decreased sense of vitality
  • Depression
  • Loss of pubic hair

Now that you know this, what can you do about your testosterone levels? For one thing, since all these hormones are related and interact with each other, it is important to understand that the adrenal glands will pick up some of the slack as the ovaries stop producing hormones. That means supporting the adrenals will help with overall hormone balance. Other things you can do to keep up your libido and enhance your sexual experiences as testosterone levels drop are:

  • Exercise regularly. This balances hormone levels and enhances circulation. To burn fat, high intensity, short duration exercises have been shown to be the most effective.
  • Kegel exercises. This keeps your pelvic floor muscles strong.
  • Squats.  Do squats and use the squatting position instead of bending. This position tones the pelvic floor.

If you are experiencing challenging perimenopause symptoms, especially related to sexual health, know that there are steps you can take. You don’t need to guess – there are many testing options available that can help give you answers. When you need natural solutions for perimenopause symptoms, the Functional Medicine approach can greatly help you to regain balance in all areas of your health.
