TRT for Women

Meaning

TRT for Women, or Testosterone Replacement Therapy for Women, is the clinical use of exogenous testosterone, typically in low, physiological doses, to treat specific conditions associated with testosterone deficiency in females, such as Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD). This therapy is employed when standard treatments have been ineffective and after a thorough diagnostic workup has ruled out other causes of symptoms. Unlike the higher doses used in men, the goal in women is to restore testosterone levels to the upper end of the premenopausal physiological range to improve libido, energy, and overall well-being.
