เทคฮอร์โมน...นานแค่ไหนถึงเรียกว่าเหมาะสม

The appropriate duration for hormone therapy is to take hormones regularly until the age of 60 or until the doctor decides to stop. Regular here refers to the types of hormone therapy as follows:
<ul>
<li>Injection (most popular)
<ul>
<li>Short-term Transmen are recommended to inject every 2-4 weeks, while transwomen are recommended to inject every 1 week.</li>
<li>Long-term Transmen are recommended to inject every 3 months, while transwomen do not yet have a long-acting injectable hormone.</li>
<li>Topical has a short action of only 24 hours, so it must be applied daily.</li>
<li>Oral must be taken continuously every day.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Common side effects of hormone therapy for both transmen and transwomen</h2>
<ul>
<li>Thick or sticky blood</li>
<li>Blood clots</li>
<li>High blood lipids</li>
<li>Thin or porous bones</li>
<li>Effects on the heart, high blood pressure, diabetes, kidneys, liver, cerebrovascular system, etc.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Did you know? Buying oral hormones by yourself is dangerous!</h2>
Buying oral hormones by yourself through internet advertisements or word of mouth on social media may pose health risks if you do not have a medical examination beforehand, use doses higher than necessary, or if some people have other health problems that can worsen when taking hormones. Therefore, seeing a doctor to receive the correct hormones is important for safety and to minimize side effects from hormone use.
