Exogenous Testosterone Therapy

Meaning

Exogenous Testosterone Therapy is the clinical practice of administering testosterone, or its synthetic esters, that originates from a source external to the body, with the primary goal of restoring physiological testosterone levels. This therapy is specifically indicated to treat the signs and symptoms of hypogonadism, a condition characterized by a functional deficiency in endogenous testosterone production. Effective therapy aims to alleviate symptoms such as reduced libido, diminished energy, and loss of muscle mass, thereby improving overall quality of life. Careful monitoring of blood parameters and hormone metabolites is essential for patient safety.
