The role of ovarian hormones in the development of breast cancer is demonstrated by studies of artificial menopause.

When prolactin soars, ovarian hormones like estrogen plummet.

And the libido of those who are affected by the decline in ovarian hormones can usually be revived by small doses of testosterone.
