Is it true that hormone replacement therapy increases sexual desire in postmenopausal women?
Unclear. Several sources indicate that testosterone-based therapy improves sexual desire in postmenopausal women with low desire, and one cohort associates HRT use with lower sexual dysfunction risk. However, the evidence addresses testosterone replacement or a subset of HRT rather than hormone replacement therapy generally, so it only partially supports the claim.
