Hormonal therapy, also known as hormone replacement therapy, involves the use of hormones to treat various medical conditions. It is commonly used to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause in women, such as hot flashes and mood swings, by supplementing estrogen and progesterone levels. In men, it can help manage conditions like low testosterone levels. In addition to menopause, hormonal therapy is often used in the treatment of certain cancers, such as breast cancer and prostate cancer. By blocking or altering hormone production, this therapy can slow the growth of hormone-sensitive tumors, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
