Postmenopausal Androgen Therapy

Meaning

Postmenopausal Androgen Therapy is a specialized clinical intervention involving the administration of exogenous androgens, most commonly testosterone or DHEA, to women following the cessation of ovarian function. This treatment is specifically aimed at addressing symptoms associated with androgen deficiency, which may include diminished libido, persistent fatigue, and reduced bone mineral density, that are not adequately resolved by estrogen replacement alone. Treatment requires careful titration and rigorous monitoring of circulating hormone levels.
