Many transgender people want to transition or become more aligned with their true gender. For this process, SRS doctors first recommend progesterone, testosterone or estrogen HRT or hormone therapy and hormone blockers to transform the physical appearance of their bodies. Hormone specialist doctors do this process. Some transgender people who transition using hormones need surgery to finish their transition. Surgeons can change the patient’s upper body, sexual appearance, and sexual genitalia with surgery. This will help in aligning the genital appearance with your gender identity.

Question and Answers

I'm a 56 year old transgender female and I was taking hormones but had to stop because I just couldn't afford them anymore. I want to take the Opill birth control because of the progestin in it to help increase my breast size even though it will take time. My question to you is will taking the Opill birth control hurt me if I take it long term or will I be fine.

Other | 56

Starting the Opill birth control for breast enlargement can be risky. Use of birth control pills for a long time can cause problems such as high chances of blood clots, weight change, and emotional state. The hormone progestin in the pill can affect my levels of hormones. There are also claims that birth control pills made of progestin can affect the production of hormones. Consult your healthcare provider to make a safe decision and avoid risking negative consequences.
