At least the mainstream media are beginning to talk about it from time to time - but not sure why this has suddenly appeared as it's nothing new, and what the medical profession has known for some time. Good to raise awareness though so that women realise it's not just a male hormone.:)

Unfortunately still not enough research into T use in women long term - only short term studies especially those done when Intrinsa was on the market as this was required for the licensing - but not long term like with HRT. I think Nick Panay has been doing some research - a year or two back I seem to recall he was recruiting volunteers for trials so hopefully some progress is being made.
