Testosterone replacement therapy, also known as androgen replacement therapy, is a form of hormone therapy in which androgens, most often testosterone, are supplemented or replaced in the body. It is typically given through injections, skin creams, patches, gels, pills, or implanted pellets placed under the skin. It is most often prescribed to counter the effects of male hypogonadism, a condition in which the body does not produce enough testosterone on its own.

Dissatisfaction with these changes causes some middle age men to seek ART. Androgen deficiencies in women have also, as of 2001, been recognized as a medical disorder that can be treated with ART. As with men, symptoms associated with androgen deficiency are most prevalent with age, and androgen replacement therapy has been shown to help with symptoms of menopause.
