Androcur: Uses in HRT and Safety Reminders

Una sa lahat, the information found on t is blog is not substitute to the advice of your medical professional and merely curated information to help clear issues surrounding use and misuse of the meds.  Ang Androcur ay brand, hindi ito ang pangalan mismo ng medicine. Meaning pwedeng kasama sya ng ibang gamot like, Diane na meron ding, CYPRETORONE ACETATE. So much better if i-consider natin ang use ng Androcur as “combo” with Diane kasi you may be consuming too much of it.  Sa totoo lang, most of the medicines na pang HRT are not really created for HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy, malawak at maraming medical conditions kung saan sila ginagamit. At kalimitan ang intent ng manufacturer is not really for HRT but has yet been used both in conventional and non-conventional HRTs because of their SIDE EFFECTS.  Ang cyproterone or androcur was initially prescribed talaga to inhibit androgen effects on ganodal function, usually for those with prostate cancer or other conditions ...

Food Supplements sa pag HRT: Importante nga ba?

When you go through Hormone Replacement Therapy, you are not necessarily required to change EVERYTHING about your lifestyle and go through lengths of taking everything that another transwoman is taking. While there are best practices hindi ito substitute sa licensed medical service provider. Always consult qualified people.  Food supplements like Thai FD is gaining popularity in the HRT markets on Facebook, and online shopping websites in the Philippines. Sellers are encouraging intake of the Food Supplement as a substitute for Estradiol HRT medicines. But does it work?  Thai FD contains estrogen, while it is true. HINDI ITO ang estrogen na needed as gender-affirming hormone for feminization. Bakit?  Phyto-estrogen ang content ng Thai FD. Ano ba ang Phyto-estrogens?  Phytoestrogens or dietary estrogens are naturally occurring compounds found in plants. Many of these plants are already part of a person’s diet. While they may have effects it is minimal and cannot be a...

Mga benefits ng HRT, pagusapan natin

Bakit marami sa Trans Pinay ang under sa HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy?  So today, itackle natin mostly is the feminizing HRT, kasi syempre, I am a transwoman and I know little or even very little sa masculinizing besides what I may have learned from school.  Today dito sa Philippines mas madami na ang transwoman na under ng HRT because they have access to the therapeutic medicines and di rin natin madedeny na, madami narin knowledgebase circulating around the internet and among peers. So bravo! We finally achieved something good with information technology.  Hormone Replacement Therapy is one of the many ways na makapagtransition tayo to match our sense of gender identity. Physical, emotional and psychological benefits are surely there.  May mga ideal and need to be discussed components are best HRT and siguro need itong malaman ng maraming transgenders to achieve the best possible individual result.  1. Male Blockers. Antiandrogen. Antitestosterone. (mada...

Phenokinon F: Gaano kadalas ang minsan? Gaano karami ang onte?

So sa new to phenokinon f users, usually ang common question is, gaano kadalas dapat ang pag inject? Well. Serious mode muna tayo.  Frequency ng injection pwede syang based sa amount of dosage na need. In short, only a medical professional na nagbasa ng lab test mo at nag aalaga sa endocrine system mo ang makakapagsabi. Wag na tayo maglokohan, mahirap ma achieve ang access sa doctor and most are really self-medicating. My blog is NOT promoting self-medication and treat this information as general curated information lamang sis.  Frequency ng Phenokinon F is recommended ng karamihang trans sisters who has been using it for years to be 1 ampoule every 3 to 5 days. Important na i-note natin sis na if you are also taking oral Estrogen HRT combined with the Phenok injection, reasonable naman to inject Estradiol Benzoate ng 5mg lang din talaga around 5 days. Hindi sya pwedeng madaliin, kasi tandaan ang magsa-suffer ang liver mo.  Both Estradiol Benzoate and Progesterone in P...

Phenokinon F Injections: Tama ba para sa iyong HRT?

Sa mundo ng pharma ang tawag sa pamilya ng mga gamot kasali ang Phenokinon F ay EB/P4 or mas madaling maintindihan at nakalagay din naman sa box as  Estradiol benzoate/progesterone. Marami namang gamot na ganito ang composition at prices range from affordable to very expensive tulad ng mga brand names na: Duogynon, Duogynon ampule, Duogynon forte, Duogynon simplex, Duoton Fort T P, Emmenovis, Estroprogyn, Gestrygen. Wala naman akong sina-suggest sa mga brand names na yan, gusto ko lang i-point out na Phenokinon F is just among the many brands out there na available ang hormone combo preparation na ito.  let's talk about Phenok...  Is it a good type of HRT for you? This greatly depends sa iyo sis. If keri mo ang injections, side-effects and sometimes (down time) why not!  Masakit nga ba kasi oil-based at bakit oil ang ginamit?  Yung viscosity (lapot) ng gamot ay totoong may effect and it can cause discomfort kung oil kasi, viscous ang oil. Oil ang used nila ...

Ilang taon ba dapat bago mag HRT?

Truth is madaming kasaling factors dito and sa Philippines, mejo mahirap sya i-tackle kasi malalim ang usapin ng HRT sa atin.  Nonetheless, ang HRT naman is a choice, if of ANY legal age ka na, you may choose from many options naman. However, if underage, best to consult parin your parents or guardians. If hindi ka pa openly out as a trans sa household nyo, mejo mahirap magundergo ng changes because some HRT changes may be permanent, especially on your reproductive system.  Sa western countries kung saan may options are trans even during adolescence usually they can get treated dun but UNDER CONSENT OF LEGAL GUARDIAN & SUPERVISION of a medical professional. If done properly, maganda ang effects kasi nagiging affirming yung physical characteristics nila on their identity.  The best thing to consider in transitioning in trans Pinay youth siguro are the following:  1. Accessibility sa HRT meds. 2. Affordability ng HRT meds.  3. Acceptability ng parents/guardi...

Oral or Injection? Ano ang mas magandang HRT?

  Usually ang laging question ng mga new to HRT ay ano ba ang bagay na HRT for them. Actually, walang makapagsasabi ng bagay na HRT besides your health practitioner. Given not everyone has access to practitioners, yet have access to some HRT. It is best pagusapan nalang natin.  If your question is also "Ano ang bagay na HRT for me?" The direct answer would be, it is not for any "seller" to decide.  Here are some things na pwede mo i-consider to make a decision.  1. Affordability. Consider your income status, if wala pang income, consider low-cost hormones. Much better to choose low-cost bio-identical hormones. Important ang affordability because when you start HRT, you should take it continuously for it to take effect. If hindi continuous your system will be confused on hormone production. Effective HRT is a commitment.   2. Supply. Actually kasama narin to sa affordability. However, dapat meron kang continuous supply to maintain your dose. Sometimes nga lang, e...
