I am a menopausal woman, and so are many of my friends and connections. We are desperate to get testosterone but struggle unless we can afford to go privately - this is not good enough for women! Menopause often comes with low libido, impacting mental health and relationships significantly. Testosterone is not just about sexual drive; it's also responsible for giving women the energy and desire to do things in their life - it helps us focus and get things done! Yet, we feel worried about asking our GP for this hormone or get flatly denied it because their computer warns them that this is a "Treatment for Men!"

We need GPs to be given the confidence to prescribe testosterone as a hormone treatment for women through the NHS. According to Harvard Medical School, testosterone therapy can help alleviate menopausal symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes, reduced sexual desire (Harvard Health Publishing). It's time that all women have access to this vital treatment option without financial barriers or stigma.

Let's urge the NHS to license testosterone as a hormone prescription for women. Sign this petition today so that every woman can have access to comprehensive menopause care!
