Hormonal Therapy
Hormonal therapy is a type of medical treatment that uses drugs to alter the levels of hormones in the body. It is most commonly used to treat conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as cancer, endometriosis, and infertility.
In cancer treatment, hormonal therapy is used to slow the growth and spread of cancer cells that are sensitive to hormones. For example, some types of breast and prostate cancer are driven by hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. Hormonal therapy can be used to reduce the levels of these hormones or block their effects on cancer cells.
In endometriosis, hormonal therapy can be used to reduce the symptoms caused by the growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. This condition can cause heavy bleeding, pain, and infertility. Hormonal therapy can be used to reduce the size of the endometrial tissue and alleviate symptoms.
In fertility treatment, hormonal therapy can be used to regulate ovulation and improve the chances of conception. This therapy can be used to stimulate ovulation in women who have difficulty ovulating or to prepare the uterus for the implantation of an embryo in in-vitro fertilization (IVF)
Hormonal therapy can be administered in several forms such as oral pills, injections, topical creams, and implantable pellets. The type of therapy used and the duration of treatment will depend on the individual's condition and response to the therapy.
Hormonal therapy can cause side effects such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, headaches, weight gain, and mood swings. It is important to discuss the potential side effects and benefits of the therapy with a healthcare professional before starting treatment.
It is important to note that hormonal therapy may not be suitable for all individuals, and it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if it's the right option for you.
