treatment with growth hormone to treat growth hormone deficiency

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)

I suspect that the term has lost precision as it has become popularized, so that in the mind of the public, "hormone replacement therapy" means "estrogen" (even though that's not even an accurate description of how HRT is actually given, and even if it's not being "replaced"), and that medical use of the term tends to be more precise. Certainly other examples of hormone replacement can be given: Synthroid for thyroid hormones, etc. -- Someone else 20:58 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)

That is exactly what I suspected. So what should be done? It might be a good idea to

move the "hormone replacement therapy" page to "estrogen therapy" or suchlike,
list all kinds of hormone treatments here, and
make the "hormone replacement therapy" page a redirect to one of these.

Other suggestions? Kosebamse 21:04 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I'm not sure the terms estrogen therapy or gender reassignment therapy are ever actually used. So, I kind of thought the idea wasn't to come up with neologisms here, but to discuss the terms in the articles. As it stands (last time I checked), I think someone else has already come up with a nice solution. Putting HRT under this article would be sort of misusing the term and kind of like putting NYC under New York State, you know? There's enough separate, non-linked discussion to fill both, as long as each references the other in some way in case readers ended up at the wrong one. That's my $0.02, anyway. Paige 22:06 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)

Better as a disambiguation page[edit]

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)[reply]
