Gender Transition Process and Orthotomy Surgery Guidance
1 week ago
I am 23 years old and I want to undergo orthotomy surgery as part of my gender transition. I have recently consulted a psychiatrist and was referred to an endocrinologist. I also completed a full-body test but faced some health issues, so I could not take all my medicines regularly. Can you guide me on the process, the role of hormone replacement therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and any precautions regarding my health during this transition?

For a safe gender transition, a young adult like you will typically undergo a 2-year period of psychiatric evaluation alongside hormone replacement therapy.
Hormone therapy will suppress testosterone, and regular monitoring of creatinine and other health parameters is essential to ensure safety.
This process prepares your body for orthotomy surgery and ensures long-term well-being. Close coordination between psychiatry and endocrinology is crucial, and any health issues must be managed carefully during this period.
