Method, device, and kit for maintaining physiological levels of steroid hormone in a subject
First Claim
1. A method for maintaining a substantially physiological cyclic pre-menopausal level of one or more steroid hormones in a mammalian subject in need thereof comprising:
- providing to the subject at least one treatment regimen including replacement therapy for the one or more steroid hormones or metabolites or modulators thereof, wherein the at least one treatment regimen is determined based on pre-menopausal cyclic steroid hormone levels of the subject and on current cyclic steroid hormone levels of the subject.

Abstract
A method, device, or kit is provided which maintain a substantially physiological cyclic pre-menopausal level of one or more steroid hormones in a mammalian subject in need thereof. The method, device, or kit includes providing to the subject at least one treatment regimen including replacement therapy for the one or more steroid hormones or metabolites or modulators thereof, wherein the at least one treatment regimen is determined based on pre-menopausal cyclic steroid hormone levels of the subject and on current cyclic steroid hormone levels of the subject, wherein the at least one treatment regimen is configured to maintain the subject'"'"'s one or more steroid hormones or metabolites or modulators thereof at substantially physiological cyclic pre-menopausal levels. The method, device, or kit can be used for the treatment of a disease or condition in the mammalian subject.
