Medical Management To Support Trans Men In A Gender Identity Clinic

A cis(gender) man, by comparison, was assigned male at birth and has a male gender identity. The goal of hormone treatment in transgender people is to suppress production of the sex hormones of a person's assigned sex, and replace with those of the experienced gender. Facilitative co-operation between healthcare disciplines is key to create a supportive environment around the patient. Menstrual bleeding is often one of the most distressing physical features for transgender men before treatment. Acne in transgender men should be treated very much as it would be for anyone else. Common behavioural changes include increased libido, energy levels and general drive/motivation. Transgender men usually describe feeling generally more settled in themselves as the various physical changes help consolidate their experienced gender role. Gender differences in cardiovascular risk have long been recognised; being male is a well-established risk factor for disease.
