Can a transgender woman get a period?

Can a transgender woman get a period?

Answered on 19th Sept '24

No, transgender women cannot get a period. 

A trans lady is a transgender person,

  • Who has become male to female and
  • Women who were designated to be male at birth are considered transgender. 

A trans woman lacks ovaries and a uterus because she was born with masculine gender identity. Trans women do not bleed or menstruate because they do not have uteruses, which shed and flow during menstruation. It is not possible for even those transgender women who have undergone sexual reassignment surgery (vaginoplasty).

No, transgender women cannot get a period as they lack the necessary reproductive organs. Trans women, who were designated male at birth, are considered transgender. However, they do not have ovaries or a uterus, which are required for menstruation.

In ftm hrt, would the physical effects be noticeable? I have family that are very conservative and am just wondering whether they will be able to notice.

Male | 15

Indeed, the physical results of FTM HRT are visible but may differ depending on an individual. It is possible also to identify some physical changes such as a deepening voice, facial and body hair growths, and redistribution of the fatty mass. It is best to consult with a gender-affirming healthcare provider who specializes in trans healthcare

Can it possible 23 age female can change herself into male by surgery and have male part

Female | 23

Biologically a female aged 23 cannot be totally changed to a male by surgery. The fact remains that sex is defined by chromosomes. On the other hand, some transgender individuals might refer to surgeries in this area to alter their looks. Whoever is struggling with the gender issue, should get the consultation of a counselor who focuses on the theme of gender identity to reflect and discuss their feelings and the possibilities of their solution.

I am 36 year old married man, I want to breast like a woman breast with out any surgery. If any possibility of this please give me some advice that how it's done.

Male | 37

There are non-surgical options to consider. Methods involving hormones that cause breast development, such as the administration of estrogen or the use of progesterone, could be effective. The use of the hormonal valve of these aids is advised only medically and not as a means for self-reliance since it can have side effects on health.  I advise you to get in touch with a healthcare professional for a consultation so they can give you the right advice and direction considering your health condition and also investigate the effectiveness of the treatment.

Hi, I would like to have FTM hormons and surgery on a vety good level and results, how much in New Delhi

Female | 50

In case you are thinking about using the FTM hormones and having surgery to get a perfect result in New Delhi, it should be pointed out that this practice is a part of transitioning from female to male people. Gender dysphoria is generally expressed through the person's feeling that the gender identity that the person was born with is inappropriate and does not agree with the person's innate gender. Hormone therapy and surgery can help reunite gender and sex. Make sure to approach a specialized doctor in New Delhi who has the necessary experience in providing these treatments for the best outcomes.

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.

Pre op mtf and ftm, what to expect?

Other | 32

Before undergoing mtf or ftm, the doctor may suggest doing some tests. 

 

Tests for mtf

  • Hormone level testing
  • Pelvic exam
  • Breast exam
  • Prostate cancer screening

 

Tests for ftm

  • Hormone level testing
  • Pelvic exam

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.

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.
