Tests for mtf
Tests for ftm
Other than the tests, the healthcare provider may give certain instructions. For example, if you are planning for a hormone therapy, you may be given instructions on how to take the hormone medications and how to monitor for potential side effects etc. And in case of a surgery also, you may be given certain instructions on the diet you need to follow, and which medications you should take or not take, etc.
It is important to work closely with your healthcare provider and follow all the guidelines and instructions given by him to have a smooth transition journey.

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.

It is a common thing for lots of people to feel they do not belong to the gender they were given at birth. This is called gender dysphoria. The signs might include feeling weird about your body, clothes, or pronouns people use for you. This happens because your gender identity does not match the sex you were marked at birth. Speaking to a therapist who gets gender identity can help you in finding ways to feel good and supported.
