Exogenous Testosterone Administration

Meaning

The clinical practice of introducing testosterone, typically in a bioidentical form, from an external source into the body to supplement or replace diminished endogenous production. This therapeutic intervention is primarily used to treat clinically diagnosed hypogonadism in men and to address specific, measurable symptoms of androgen deficiency in women. The administration aims to restore circulating testosterone levels to a physiological, optimal therapeutic range.
