Testosterone patches can restore sexual drive in some women going through surgical menopause.

Due to the reduced levels of testosterone after menopause, there take place a lot of physical changes in women. These changes are often seen as resulting in loss of libido, decreased sexual activity, diminished feelings of physical well-being and fatigue. Testosterone therapy is an option for the restoration of sexual drive. Testosterone patches can significantly boost the libido for some women with sub par sex drives after surgery to remove their ovaries, who report an average of one additional sexual encounter a week after starting to use the hormone.
