When women have low testosterone levels, the following measures can be taken:
1. Dietary management: Consume high-quality proteins and foods rich in zinc, vitamin D, and vitamin B, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, and fresh fruits and vegetables, to promote testosterone synthesis. Avoid raw, cold, greasy, and spicy foods, and maintain a light and balanced diet.
2. Lifestyle management: Maintain healthy habits by avoiding late nights and ensuring sufficient sleep. Engage in moderate physical activities such as walking, jogging, or yoga to improve metabolism and immune function.
3. Medication: Under medical supervision, androgen preparations may be used for supplementation, such as Compound Octavite Methyltestosterone Capsules or Testosterone Propionate Injection. Please note that the specific treatment plan should be determined based on individual conditions and doctor's recommendations.
