What is the benefit of testosterone for a woman?
The number one benefit is a higher sex drive. Other reported benefits include increased energy, reduced risk of osteoporosis, heightened metabolism, and increased muscle mass. It must be remembered though that women are sensitive to testosterone, so in taking supplements women may experience some masculinizing symptoms that they don't want such as a deepening of the voice or increased facial hair.
Does testim help restore libido?
Yes, Testim and other androgen replacement gels/patches can increase testosterone levels and libido, IF: your free testosterone level was low before using it; if your level was already 25 or over , it will probably of little additional benefit. Also if you are over 40-45 years old, you may be experiencing andropause. It is worth noting that estrogen and testosterone are very similar, both being made from cholesterol. Older men may continue to produce normal amount of testosterone, which can then change back ("aromatize") into estrogen. The result is that no matter how much testosterone you have, or add, your free testosterone levels will decrease and your estrogen levels will increase. I would advise a free testosterone(normal 15-25) and estrogen level(normal 50-100) be obtained before starting Testim. If your estrogenlevels are high, a better approach would be to skip the Testim and start Arimidex 1mg, 1/2 tab Mon-Wed-Fri.This should normalize BOTH levels.

I also experienced breast tenderness while on DHEA and had to discontinue that also. I have one kidney. Is there any explanation?
