Androgens
Androgens are a group of hormones present in both women and men.
Androgens are a group of hormones present in both women and men. They include testosterone, Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and others. In women, they are produced in smaller quantities and play a key role in the synthesis of estrogen, sexual function, muscle mass, and bone strength. In men, they help develop and maintain secondary sex characteristics such as facial hair, a deeper voice, and increased muscle mass. Inline content unavailable
Why It Matters :
During menopause, estrogen levels drop significantly, while androgen levels decline more gradually. This hormonal shift leads to a relative increase in androgen influence, which affects:
Genitourinary support and vaginal tissue integrity
Sexual desire and arousal
Genital tissue and pelvic structural health
Menopause leads to shifts in androgen balance, accentuated by decreased SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) and ovarian output, contributing to both rises in symptoms like facial hair and hair thinning, and declines in sexual function due to androgen deficiency. Inline content unavailable
