Summary

This study tests whether a testosterone gel applied to the skin can safely improve low sexual desire and arousal in women going through or past menopause. About 150 women aged 40-65 with diagnosed low libido will receive either the gel or a placebo for several weeks. The goal is to see if the gel boosts sexual function and reduces distress, with careful monitoring for side effects like acne or voice changes.
