Article Synopsis
- The number of people seeking gender-affirming hormone treatment has significantly increased over the past 20 years, particularly among transgender women and non-binary transfeminine individuals in the UK.
- Treatment usually involves anti-androgens to suppress testosterone and oestradiol replacement, with options like gels, patches, or oral preparations chosen based on personal preference and health risks.
- It's crucial to manage expectations about the timeline for physical changes and to provide thorough counseling on potential complications, including issues related to blood clots, liver health, and fertility.
