What is the normal T level of a menopausal woman. My wife is a 5 and she has been told it is normal. However she has a very low libido and I heard that this is low for any age woman Is it?

You cannot always go by lab ranges because they do vary. In my opinion a person should go by symptoms and since lab test have different ranges how can anyone depend on those results. A deficiency of testosterone has been associated with depression, mood disturbances, loss of appetite, inability to grow muscle, loss of libido, fatigue and reduced quality of life.
Below are a couple of links to websites addressing hormonal issues for men and women. They are bio-identical hormones with similar properties as a woman or man's natural hormones. Each site has written test a woman can take online, but cannot copy the test perhaps. I think they also, accept test you can mail to a lab after they send you a test kit. You can order the products online and do not need a prescription. If anyone having hormonal issues does order, follow directions and listen to your body messages/symptoms. Enjoy love and enjoy life!
