Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated whether testosterone injections could increase muscle size in the trunk and pelvic floor muscles of hysterectomized women with low testosterone levels, showing positive effects on certain muscles like paraspinal, psoas, and abdominal wall muscles.
  • Women received testosterone or placebo over 24 weeks, with muscle sizes measured before and after treatment using advanced MRI techniques, and increases in muscle areas were linked to higher free testosterone levels.
  • The results suggest that short-term testosterone treatment can enhance trunk muscle mass in women with low testosterone, although no significant changes were seen in pelvic floor muscles.
