Testosterone is the hormone that is primarily responsible for sexual desire in women. A hormone patch containing testosterone is often used as a treatment for women experiencing low sexual desire or other related symptoms of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). Estrogen and progesterone may also play a role in sexual function, but testosterone is the primary hormone involved. Follicle-stimulating hormone is not typically used to address sexual dysfunction.
