And we have vaginal estrogen.
Vaginal estrogen can safely be used in breast
cancer survivors to treat dryness, sexual dysfunction.
There is no evidence that it impacts survival from breast cancer.
So one of the things that I try to tell my survivors is there are virtually treatments for every symptom that someone has, and absolutely no one should feel that they need to suffer.
Yeah, we get a lot of questions about, should I use testosterone as part of my hormone therapy?
So let's talk a little bit about why it's not FDA approved and what the best indications for testosterone are in women.
So there actually were trials looking at a testosterone patch in postmenopausal women who are already on hormone therapy.
And they were looking at it to see whether they're improved sexual functioning or low libido.
And they found it successful.
They tried to get it through the FDA.
but this was in the early 2000s on the heels of the large women's health initiative.
And the FDA said, we're not approving anything hormonal until you give us more safety data with regards to the breasts.
To this day, testosterone has never been FDA approved for women.
On top of that, because of all of the issues around steroids and doping in athletes,
Testosterone got put on a controlled substance list.
So it is a hassle to give to women.
That being said, we have a number of studies that show it improves sexual functioning in women and particularly postmenopausal women.
That is where the best evidence exists.
There is evolving evidence for other things like bone mass, muscle mass, bone health, fatigue, cognition.
