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/guardians or family. Remember, it is always still the best if they support, tolerate and accept you esp. if under ka pa sa care nila and not yet independent. 

4. Support groups. Today, madami na tayong support groups kahit sa social media, local organizations and even the medical societies (slowly nga lang) opening to transgender concerns. 

Author's note for the very young: Start your HRT the right way. Consider mo yung mga factors above and make a long term plan. HRT is a big leap into transitioning. Di pwedeng pabago bago or hindi sure.

Authors note for the late HRT use: Sa mga older naman, let us not forget to consider our pre-existing conditions din naman and also consider HRT requires a change in lifestyle. Di naman need maging super healthy lifestyle, pero your body is still "mortal" may mga bisyong need i-give up to ensure that safe and best results. 

Again mga sis, trust the process it may be long but then again, it is a fulfilling journey.

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 ...

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...

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 ...
