A woman’s testosterone-based vaginal cream linked to elevated testosterone in her partner

Testosterone is often called the male hormone. But women’s bodies make it, too, though in lesser amounts than men make. In both women and men, testosterone levels naturally decline with age. This can diminish a woman’s sex drive, just as it can a man’s. Some women try to boost a waning sex drive with a testosterone-based vaginal cream, which can be mixed to order by a compounding pharmacy with a doctor’s prescription.
