Hormonal Feminization Therapy for Gender Identity Disorder

I am a 27-year-old male. I have suffered from gender identity disorder since childhood. I want to undergo hormonal feminization therapy. I want help and recommend appropriate treatment.

Answered on 15th Oct '24

Gende­r dysphoria causes discomfort with your assigned gende­r. You may feel sad or disconnecte­d from your body. Hormonal feminization therapy deve­lops feminine traits by taking female­ hormones. It helps your physical appearance­ match your true gender ide­ntity. Consult a plastic surgeon spe­cializing in transgender care. The­y'll guide you through the process, monitor progre­ss, and ensure safety.

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.

Female | 22

The time and cost of transitioning from female to male (FTM) or gender reassignment surgery vary for each individual. Medical transition may involve hormone therapy and surgeries like top and bottom surgery. The effects of hormone therapy can be noticeable within months but may take years to see significant changes. Social and legal transitions are also part of the process. The overall cost can differ based on chosen options. Visit a medical professional for advice and support.

if I have top surgery without T can I develop pecs if I hit the gym a lot?

Male | 18

If you don't take testosterone or undergo top surgery, you can still build your pecs by lifting weights. Pecs, short for pectoral muscles, can grow with exercises like chest presses and push-ups, which target these muscles. Pace yourself, use the correct form, and be consistent with your workouts. Your pecs can still develop even without testosterone.

Can a transgender male have a period?

Other | 43

Men who are transgenders assigned female at birth still possess uterus, and consequently continue to menstruate as normal. Hormone therapy commonly used in the gender transition brings about a significant decrease or cessation of menstrual bleeding. In order to get personalized advice regarding the management of menstrual health for those going through gender transition, a specialist in transgender medicine or endocrinology needs to be consulted.

Other | 32

It seems like you may be going through some changes about turning into the opposite sex. Understand that these changes are complicated and might need some medical interventions. You might require different amounts of hormones to help you through the process. Talk about what is bothering you and your symptoms with a doctor who can help you figure out the best way forward.
