Testosterone Replacement Therapy Safety

Meaning

The comprehensive clinical evaluation and management strategy focused on minimizing the potential adverse effects and long-term health risks associated with administering exogenous testosterone to treat hypogonadism. Safety protocols mandate baseline screening, ongoing laboratory monitoring of hematocrit, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and lipid profiles, and vigilant clinical assessment for cardiovascular events. The goal is to restore physiological testosterone levels without compromising patient well-being.
