Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy, or GAHT, is a medical treatment that involves taking hormones such as oestrogen or testosterone to induce physical changes that align with a person\u2019s gender identity. It is a key part of medical transition for many transgender and non-binary individuals, and requires specialist guidance from an endocrinologist.<\/span><\/p>

GAHT affects many parts of the body, so safe treatment relies on appropriate hormone doses and regular check-ups. Some individuals may also see mental health professionals for additional support, but the main part of medical transition is hormone care guided by an endocrinologist.<\/span><\/p>

Dr Gani focuses on precise hormone management, transparent discussions about expected changes, and long-term safety.

What Is Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT)?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT) is hormone therapy for individuals who have been assessed to experience gender dysphoria. It involves the medically supervised use of hormones to help align an individual\u2019s physical characteristics with their gender identity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Feminising Hormone Therapy typically involves the use of oestrogen together with anti-androgen medications, while Masculinising Hormone Therapy uses testosterone to support the development of more masculine characteristics. GAHT supports both physical transition and overall emotional well-being, and is usually a long-term therapy that requires regular monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In Singapore, GAHT must be prescribed by licensed doctors who are trained in transgender healthcare. This form of care is offered only after appropriate clinical evaluation, and treatment plans are tailored to each person\u2019s health needs, goals, and safety considerations.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There are two main types of GAHT: Feminising Hormone Therapy and Masculinising Hormone Therapy. They use different hormone regimens to support the development of gender affirming physical changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Each approach produces its own set of effects and follows a timeline carefully monitored by the administering doctor. The table below highlights the key differences between the two treatments.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

GAHT is intended for individuals who experience significant distress or discomfort due to the mismatch between their gender identity and their secondary sex characteristics. It is commonly sought by transgender and non-binary individuals who wish to feminise or masculinise their physical features in a way that aligns more closely with their gender identity.<\/span><\/p>
