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, even though afford mo, if the supply is limited you might find it hard to do your next purchase and end up missing your dose and switch. 

3. Onset Changes. Initially both oral or injectable will make changes in your body na hindi physical characteristics. Antukin, tamad, laging gutom. While most of these are normal naman kasi pinoprogram ulit ng HRT ang puberty (pagdadalaga/pagbibinata) stage mo. So, wag muna excited sa biglaang physical body transformation. 

If hindi normal at may mga rashes, painful urination at iba pang bothering side-effects, stop it immediately and consult sa doctor or health practitioner. Pero mga sis, this is very seldom. 

So ano nga ba? Oral or Inject? 

Go ka sa oral if... 

New palang sa hormones and okay naman ang memory to remember times of intake. Ang advantage ng TAMANG oral meds is, pwede mo ma adjust ang intake mo sa convenient sayo, also mas affordable and if may takot ka sa self-injecting na eksena. 

Go ka sa injectables if... 

Keri ng budget ang injectable hormones. Mejo may kamahalan for individuals na wala pang income kahit pa ang pinakamura like Phenok. Another problem is, may pain of course ang pag inject. Advantage lang ng injectibles is that, assured ang body na regular doses. 

Important reminder lang, wag maguulit ng mga pantusok natin or magshare. It is A BIG NO!

Both oral or injectable have pros and cons. Ikaw at ikaw lang makakapagdecide nyan for yourself through guidance ng medical professional. Basta ang important. 

WHATEVER PROCESS YOU CHOOSE, TRUST THE PROCESS AND HAVE PATIENCE. 

Both oral or injectable will take time depending on your body to adjust your hormone levels and have desired physical manifestations ng feminization.

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 ...
