A member asked:
How long do you need therapy for before starting hormone replacement therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please clarify: Hi. I'm not sure what you're referring to. We replace LOTS of hormones (thyroid, insulin, growth hormone, cortisol, aldosterone [given as fludrocortisone], estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, anti-diuretic hormone (given as DDAVP], etc, etc). I suspect you may be referring to archaic terminology for gonadal steroid replacement, but in that case, I have no idea what "therapy before starting" is
