Hormone therapies involve the use of hormones to alleviate symptoms or conditions caused by hormonal imbalances. Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate various bodily functions, including growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction.
Hormone therapy can be administered in various forms, including pills, patches, creams, gels, injections, and vaginal rings. It can be used to treat conditions such as menopause, breast cancer, and prostate cancer.
The therapy works by replacing or blocking hormones in the body, depending on the specific condition being treated. The dosage and duration of hormone therapy vary depending on the patient’s individual needs and medical history.
