IMO this and many other therapies would qualify as hormone replacement, because it is indeed a deficiency that is treated. I wonder whether the very specific meaning attributed to "hormone replacement therapy" does really apply only to the estrogen etc thing. Kosebamse 20:45 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)
That is exactly what I suspected. So what should be done? It might be a good idea to
Other suggestions? Kosebamse 21:04 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Sure. (BTW, my comment was here before things evolved much further on the other page) IMO someone else´s solution is fine enough and I certainly don´t want to invent any neologisms here. Just wasn´t sure what´s used in English so I attempted to translate my medicalese. Best regards, Kosebamse 22:12 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)

This looks like a list of therapies with any involvement of any hormone. Better to change it to a disambiguation page ? - Rod57 ( talk) 16:58, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion related to this article at Talk:Transgender hormone therapy#Requested move 15 July 2024 that editors may want to contribute to. Raladic ( talk) 20:25, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
@ Raladic, you reverted a re-organization of the page with an edit summary that mentions MOS:DABORDER. This is not Wikipedia:Disambiguation page, so DABORDER is irrelevant. Would you like to self-revert now, or do you have another reason why you think it's better to have one long list instead of a list sorted by functional area?

- Androgen deprivation therapy, hormone therapy for prostate cancer
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also known as menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). is for women are suffering from menopausal symptoms. It is based on the idea that the treatment may prevent discomfort caused by diminished circulating estrogen and progesterone hormones, or in the case of the surgically or prematurely menopausal, that it may prolong life and may reduce incidence of dementia. [1] It involves the use of one or more of a group of medications designed to artificially boost hormone levels. The main types of hormones involved are estrogen, progesterone, or progestins, and sometimes, testosterone. It is often referred to as "treatment" rather than therapy.
