Hormone Replacement Suitability

Meaning

Hormone Replacement Suitability is the comprehensive clinical assessment process used to determine if an individual is an appropriate and safe candidate for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or hormone optimization protocols, considering their unique combination of symptoms, current laboratory data, complete medical history, and specific risk profile. This rigorous evaluation requires a nuanced, empathetic understanding of the potential benefits, any existing contraindications, and the individual’s overall systemic health status. Establishing suitability is the first, and most critical, ethical and clinical step in initiating any hormone protocol.
