Intramuscular Testosterone Injections

Meaning

A common and clinically established method of administering exogenous testosterone directly into a large muscle mass, such as the gluteal or thigh muscle, for the purpose of hormone replacement therapy. This route provides a depot effect, resulting in a relatively sustained release of the hormone into the bloodstream over a period of days to weeks. Intramuscular injections are a cornerstone of treatment for clinically diagnosed hypogonadism in males.
