Conventional Endocrine Treatments

Meaning

Conventional endocrine treatments encompass established, evidence-based therapeutic modalities used to manage disorders of the endocrine system, primarily involving the administration of hormones or hormone-modulating agents. These therapies aim to restore hormonal balance by replacing deficient hormones, blocking excessive hormone action, or regulating glandular function. Examples include thyroid hormone replacement for hypothyroidism or glucocorticoids for adrenal insufficiency. These are the standard-of-care protocols developed through extensive clinical trials and regulatory approval processes.
