Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy involves taking or blocking hormones to treat a medical condition. It is most commonly used to alleviate menopausal symptoms, treat certain cancers, or align secondary sex characteristics with gender identity.

Understand the Main Types and Uses

Hormone treatments serve vastly different medical purposes based on your needs: 

• Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT): Relieves hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness by replacing declining estrogen levels.
• Cancer Treatment: Blocks specific hormones that fuel tumor growth, primarily used for breast and prostate cancers.
• Gender-Affirming Care: Uses testosterone or estrogen to transition physical traits to match gender identity.
• Hormone Deficiency Replacement: Restores normal levels in conditions like hypothyroidism or growth hormone deficiency.
