What is Hormone Therapy?

Hormone therapy can either supplement deficient hormones, as in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause, or block hormone effects in conditions like hormone-driven cancers.

It is primarily used for:

1. Hormone-driven cancers: Such as breast and prostate cancer.
2. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): For menopause-related symptoms.
3. Endocrine disorders: Such as thyroid dysfunction and adrenal disorders.
