Hormone Therapy

the therapeutic use of hormonal preparations.

Hormone therapy is subdivided into replacement therapy (used when an endocrine gland ceases to function), stimulation therapy (used for insufficient function of the gland), and inhibitory, or blocking, therapy (for excessive hormone production). Hormone therapy is also used in treating many diseases that are unconnected with endocrine disturbances.
