The types of hormonal therapy can be categorized based on the hormones used:
Estrogen Therapy: Often prescribed for women who have had a hysterectomy. It helps in reducing menopausal symptoms. Progesterone Therapy: Used alongside estrogen in women who still have a uterus to prevent endometrial hyperplasia. Combination Therapy: A mix of estrogen and progesterone, typically prescribed to women with an intact uterus. Androgen Therapy: Sometimes used to address sexual desire disorders and other conditions.
