Post-Hypogonadal Recomposition

Meaning

Post-Hypogonadal Recomposition is the clinical process of systematically restoring an optimal body composition—specifically increasing lean muscle mass and decreasing visceral adipose tissue—following the diagnosis and therapeutic intervention for hypogonadism, a state of deficient gonadal hormone production. This is a crucial therapeutic objective that goes beyond merely normalizing hormone levels to actively reversing the deleterious physiological changes induced by prolonged hormonal deficiency. Successful recomposition significantly improves metabolic health, physical function, and overall quality of life.
