Exogenous Hormone Therapy

Meaning

Exogenous Hormone Therapy refers to the administration of hormones that originate from an external source, such as pharmaceutical preparations, rather than being naturally produced by the patient’s own endocrine glands. This clinical intervention is used to correct hormonal deficiencies, manage symptoms related to endocrine decline, or suppress endogenous hormone production for specific therapeutic goals. The compounds can be bioidentical or synthetic in their molecular structure.
