269 - Testosterone supplementation: what can we learn from men’s healthcare?

This week on the podcast, Dr Louise is once again joined by her friend, retired consultant urologist Steve Payne.

Together they look at the similarities and differences in women and men’s experiences of menopause and andropause, and the effect of low testosterone levels, including loss of libido and lust for life, lethargy, mood changes, depression and muscular weakness.

They address the issues surrounding testosterone replacement and Steve questions if medical professionals can learn from the treatment of men with prostate cancer with testosterone supplementations when treating women with breast cancer with hormones.

Steve has written a factsheet about making informed decisions during cancer care. You can also read more about his and his wife Jan’s experience, plus practical advice, here, and listen to the podcast Making decisions about cancer treatment and the importance of quality of life with Steve Payne.
