Hormonal therapy is geared to an individual’s goals and based on standard of care guidelines. Initial care may include a physical exam and blood work to check the individual’s overall health. Therapy is monitored by clinical response and blood tests. Therapies are adjusted as needed based on response. Hormones are given as oral, topical or injected medications.
To obtain transgender hormonal therapy, a psychological or psychiatric evaluation by a certified and/or experienced professional will be performed prior to the start of hormonal therapy.
People who desire transgender hormonal therapy are encouraged to see a trained medical professional, who will prescribe the right medications and monitor the patient over time.
