Female Testosterone Therapy

Meaning

Female testosterone therapy is a specialized clinical treatment involving the administration of exogenous testosterone in physiological doses to women experiencing symptoms of androgen deficiency, such as persistent low libido, reduced bone mineral density, or unexplained fatigue. The therapy aims to restore circulating testosterone levels to a normal, pre-menopausal range, recognizing that androgens are crucial hormones in female physiology. This intervention is distinct from male hormone replacement therapy due to the significantly lower, precisely titrated doses required.
