Postmenopausal women who experience a slump in their sex drive may rediscover their libido by taking the male sex hormone testosterone. However, researchers are unsure if there may be a link between the use of testosterone and breast cancer, according to FoodConsumer.org.
Oestrogen and progesterone are necessary hormones for reproduction which are produced naturally by a woman’s ovaries. At around the age of 50 the body slows down and eventually stops production of these hormones, which brings on the menopause or ‘change of life’. The menopause is, strictly speaking, the moment when a woman no longer has menstrual periods, but the term is generally used to describe the years leading up to and after that time.
