Hormonal Suppression Mitigation

Meaning

Hormonal Suppression Mitigation refers to the set of clinical strategies designed to buffer the body against the undesirable physiological consequences of intentionally or pathologically lowered endogenous hormone levels. When therapeutic interventions, such as those targeting certain cancers or managing specific conditions, necessitate significant reduction in circulating sex steroids or cortisol, mitigation strategies become essential. Our aim is to preserve bone mineral density, maintain cognitive integrity, and support metabolic function despite the primary suppression. This requires a nuanced, supportive approach beyond the primary treatment modality.
