Androgen Replacement

Meaning

Androgen replacement is a therapeutic intervention involving the administration of exogenous androgens, typically testosterone, to restore physiological hormone concentrations in individuals presenting with clinical hypogonadism. This treatment aims to alleviate symptoms associated with androgen deficiency, which can include diminished libido, fatigue, decreased muscle mass, and reduced bone mineral density. Proper clinical practice mandates careful diagnostic assessment to confirm a deficiency and determine the appropriate regimen for normalization. The goal is to achieve a stable, eugonadal state that supports overall metabolic, physical, and psychological well-being.
