Steroid Hormone-dependent Disorders
Steroid hormone-dependent disorders are medical conditions caused by an imbalance of hormones, specifically steroid hormones. These hormones regulate many of the body's physiological processes such as growth, metabolism, menstruation and development. These disorders can cause a range of symptoms, depending on the particular hormone imbalance involved. Common symptoms can include menstrual irregularities, hair loss, infertility and increased risk of certain cancers. Treatment options often include hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle modifications, medications or dietary changes. Early diagnosis and treatment of steroid hormone-dependent disorders can help patients reduce their risk of serious complications.
