A member asked:
What would happen if a woman took testosterone pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends . . .: Ask yourself why you need to take testosterone. We don't usually recommend pills b/c danger to liver. If t is necessary, we usually recommend (compounded) cream/gel/lotion. In excess, t can cause hirsutism, change in voice (lowered), enlarged clitoris, acne, etc. Check out http://www.Drugs.Com/sfx/methyltestosterone-side-effects.Html for a longer list. Recent male studies linked t to heart disease.
