Hormonal therapies are medical treatments that involve the use of hormones to manage various health conditions. These therapies can help balance hormone levels in the body, which may be disrupted due to factors like age, illness, or certain medical treatments. Common uses include managing symptoms of menopause, treating certain types of breast cancer, and addressing hormonal imbalances. There are different types of hormonal therapies, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and anti-hormonal treatments. HRT is often used to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings in menopausal women. Anti-hormonal treatments, on the other hand, may block or lower hormone levels to slow the growth of hormone-sensitive cancers.
