Pre-Menopausal Androgen Deficit

Meaning

Pre-Menopausal Androgen Deficit describes a state where circulating levels of active androgens, such as free testosterone, are sub-optimal in women prior to the onset of menopause, leading to impaired vitality and anabolic function. This deficit is often characterized by low libido, reduced muscle tone, and decreased cognitive drive, despite potentially normal estrogen levels. Identifying this condition requires precise measurement, as standard reference ranges often overlook this specific functional insufficiency. We recognize this as a crucial, yet often missed, component of female hormonal health.
