Would you prescribe testosterone to a post-menopausal woman for low libido and/or fatigue symptoms assuming all other work up is unremarkable?

I have never prescribed testosterone to women for decreased libido, if the other workup is normal. In addition, if you explain the side effects, such as increasing hirsutism, most women opt out of taking testosterone for this purpose.
