They clearly show that a daily 90-μL dose of transdermal testosterone improves self-reported sexual satisfaction for premenopausal women with reduced libido and low serum-free testosterone levels.The authors evaluate many factors associated with the sexual satisfaction of women, such as age, premenopausal status, body mass index, sexual activity, depression, testosterone level, pregnancy, relationship problems, medication, and others. However, they don't clearly show the factors affecting the partners of these women. Clinicians will need to know the effect of the partner on sexual satisfaction in premenopausal women. ...Reference1. Davis S, Papalia MA, Norman RJ, O'Neill S, Redelman M, Williamson M, et al.
