Testosterone Administration

Meaning

Testosterone administration is the clinical practice of introducing exogenous testosterone into the body to treat conditions associated with low endogenous testosterone levels, primarily hypogonadism or Age-Related Testosterone Deficiency (ARTD). This therapeutic intervention aims to restore physiological testosterone concentrations to a range that supports optimal male vitality, bone density, muscle mass, mood, and sexual function. Administration is typically achieved through various routes, including intramuscular injection, transdermal gels, or subcutaneous pellets, with the specific method tailored to the patient’s clinical profile and lifestyle. Careful clinical monitoring is mandatory to manage potential side effects and ensure therapeutic efficacy.
