Hormone Withdrawal Mitigation

Meaning

Hormone Withdrawal Mitigation is a clinical strategy focused on proactively minimizing the adverse physiological and psychological symptoms experienced when an individual ceases exogenous hormone therapy or during natural periods of endogenous hormone decline, such as menopause or andropause. This process involves a carefully structured tapering of dosage or the introduction of supportive therapies to smooth the transition and stabilize the endocrine system’s function. The goal is to prevent the sudden, debilitating effects of rapid hormonal flux. Effective mitigation improves patient comfort and long-term health outcomes.
