Exogenous Hormone Administration

Meaning

Exogenous Hormone Administration refers to the clinical practice of introducing hormones into the body from an external, non-endogenous source, typically for therapeutic purposes such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or pharmacological intervention. This intervention is used to correct hormonal deficiencies, suppress excessive endogenous hormone production, or modulate specific physiological processes. Careful clinical oversight is mandatory to determine the appropriate hormone type, dose, route of administration, and monitoring schedule to achieve the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing potential side effects. The goal is to restore a state of physiological balance that supports well-being and health.
