Testosterone Replacement Protocols

Meaning

Clinically established, systematic guidelines for the administration of exogenous testosterone to men diagnosed with symptomatic hypogonadism, aiming to restore serum testosterone levels to a normal physiological range. These protocols specify the formulation (e.g., injections, gels, patches), dosage, frequency, and duration of therapy, alongside mandatory monitoring of hematocrit, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and estradiol levels. The primary goal is to alleviate symptoms such as low libido, fatigue, and decreased bone density while minimizing adverse effects.
