Hormonal Therapy in Pune - Dr.Pratik Patil

Hormonal therapy is a comprehensive term applied to the use of hormones in treating many medical conditions. The most familiar types are oncologic hormone therapy for cancer patients and hormone replacement therapy. Which treats conditions caused by a shortcoming or the lack of a particular hormone in the body.
Hormones are molecules or substances that maintain chemical messages to different parts of the body via the bloodstream.


They are produced by various glands and are responsible for numerous physiological functions and processes. Which includes growth, metabolism of food, reproduction, sexual function, etc. Among the most typical hormones are amino acids, polypeptides, proteins, peptides, and steroids.
Depending on the disorder being treated, hormonal therapy uses several means of action. Some hormones are used to block other hormones from binding to their receptors, restricting their effects on certain processes. Other hormones repress the generation of distinct hormones while others eradicate or modify the structure of receptors to prevent them from binding to a targeted hormone. During hormone replacement therapy, the body receives the hormone it lacks to make sure its physiologic functions should not get disturbed.
