The Dr Louise Newson Podcast

44 - Testosterone and why the UK is falling behind


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by urologist and sexual medicine specialist Prof Mohit Khera to talk about testosterone in women and why it remains one of the most misunderstood and underused hormones in medicine.

They explore how sexual dysfunction is rarely an individual problem, why treating only one partner can create new difficulties, and why testosterone should be seen as part of a three-hormone foundation alongside estradiol and progesterone.

Crucially, this conversation goes far beyond libido. This is a powerful discussion about a hormone women make naturally, the wide-ranging health benefits it offers, and why being scared to replace it is often doing more harm than good.
