Now, testosterone is really interesting because it actually isn't at menopause that you lose testosterone.
It happens in your 30s.
So if you look at this graph, right, you can see testosterone starts to precipitously drop in your 30s.
So what do we see clinically?
Sometimes nothing.
But we have a lot of people who will start in their 30s, mid 30s, late 30s, start to say, oh, my libido is not as high as it used to be.
huh, my orgasm takes a little bit longer.
I don't feel as aroused.
My engorgement is not the same.
My lubrication is engorgement of the clitoris.
It's the same as an erection, right?
So the clitoris and the penis are the same.
They get hard with blood flow.
And so this happens in your 30s and no one's paying attention because if you look at the graphs that we are taught in med school, they look more like this.
So the books all talk about estrogen and progesterone.
They don't talk about testosterone very often.
And there's also a lot of things we do to worsen this problem.
When you play with hormones, there are consequences, sometimes good and sometimes bad, because we do so much to mess with our hormone levels.
Again, birth control pills, the way that they work is changing hormone levels.
Medications for acne, medications for hair loss that people are using can affect your testosterone levels.
