Low-Dose Androgen Administration

Meaning

The clinical practice of prescribing testosterone or other androgenic hormones at conservative, physiological doses intended to restore levels to the upper end of the young adult reference range or to address specific symptomology in androgen-deficient individuals. This method prioritizes subtle physiological correction over supraphysiological effects, minimizing potential side effects while optimizing metabolic, cognitive, and sexual health. The goal is restoration, not augmentation, of endocrine function.
