Objective:To compare the effect of esterified estrogens and methyltestosterone versus esterified estrogens alone on diminished sexual interest in surgically menopausal women. Design:This randomized, double-blind study compared the effect of combined esterified estrogens (1.25 mg) and methyltestosterone (2.5 mg) (EE/MT) versus esterified estrogens (1.25 mg) alone (EE) for 8 weeks. Several different sexual function questionnaires were used to measure response to therapy. Changes from baseline in…

Sexual desire, satisfaction and frequency in postmenopausal women taking hormonal therapy were improved significantly by combined estrogen-androgen therapy but not by estrogen or estrogen-progestin therapy, leading to the conclusion that androgens play a pivotal role in sexual function but that estrogens are not a significant factor determining levels of sexual drive and enjoyment.
