    involves administering hormones to correct or modify imbalances

    Hormone Therapy (HT), also known as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or Endocrine Therapy, involves the administration of hormones to correct or modify hormonal imbalances in the body. It is commonly used to alleviate symptoms of menopause, treat hormone-sensitive cancers like breast and prostate cancer, and support gender transition in transgender individuals by aligning their physical characteristics with their gender identity.
