Testosterone Therapy Adherence

Meaning

Testosterone Therapy Adherence is the measure of compliance an individual demonstrates in consistently following the prescribed regimen for administering exogenous testosterone, including frequency, dosage, and route of administration, as directed by their endocrinologist. High adherence is strongly correlated with achieving stable therapeutic hormone levels and realizing the full clinical benefits, such as improved lean body mass and libido. Conversely, poor adherence often leads to hormonal fluctuations that negate the intended physiological improvements and may introduce side effects. This concept is vital for successful long-term androgen replacement.
