Does Hormone Therapy Play a Role in Hypothalamic Obesity Treatment?

Yes, hormone therapy can be part of managing Hypothalamic obesity, especially since hypothalamic damage often leads to issues like growth hormone (GH) deficiency. Treating GH deficiency can improve body composition and metabolism, even though it doesn’t cure Hypothalamic obesity. Early discussions with an oncologist about hormone replacement therapy are recommended, especially since waiting until a disease-free state may not be practical in cases like craniopharyngioma.
