Hormone Therapy

Meaning

Hormone Therapy, or HT, is a clinical intervention involving the administration of exogenous hormones to either replace a deficient endogenous supply or to modulate specific physiological functions. This treatment is broadly utilized across endocrinology for conditions ranging from menopausal symptoms and androgen deficiency to gender affirmation and certain hormone-sensitive cancers. The precise nature of the therapy, including the hormone type and delivery method, is meticulously personalized to the patient’s specific clinical needs.
