Hormonal Treatments

Hormonal treatments involve the use of hormones or hormone-blocking medications to address various health issues. They can help regulate bodily functions and are commonly used in conditions like menopause, thyroid disorders, and certain cancers. In hormone replacement therapy (HRT), for example, estrogen and progesterone are given to alleviate symptoms of menopause. These treatments can also support gender transition in transgender individuals. While hormonal treatments can be very effective, they may have side effects and should be monitored by healthcare professionals to ensure they are safe and suitable for the individual’s needs.
