Testosterone for Women?

August 5, 2003

Indeed, Says a Well-known Nutrition Doctor Dr. Frederic J. Vagnini, a cardiovascular specialist who offers nutritional counsel to prevent heart disease and other health problems, answered questions about nutritional treatment for sexual dysfunction on the Bob Berkowitz "Naked New York" Show.

"Two things have been very effective for improving libido in women. One is DHEA, a natural adrenal hormone that you can get over the counter. The other is testosterone. Many physicians don"t realize that women should be taking a little testosterone. We measure testosterone levels in women in my practice. It is also very good for bones and the prevention of osteoporosis."

In the interview Dr. Vagnini also commented on other natural therapies for sexual enhancement. Surprisingly, he stated that there is some truth to the advertisements for penis enlargement, "It"s a fact that many of the nutrients I"ve mentioned -- argenine, hawthorne, ginko biloba, yohimbine -- increase blood flow to the body"s organs and they can have a penile enlargement effect."

Because heart disease and sexual dysfunction are often connected, Dr. Vagnini includes a section on sexual health in his newest book Dr. Vagnini"s Healthy Heart Plan (Safe Goods Publishing, 2002). In it he discusses sex and hypertension, sex and drugs, sex after a heart attack, sex and aging, and lifestyle influences on sexual function.
