What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

In this process, the gender of a man or woman is changed by changing their hormones. In this, the help of plastic surgery is also taken. It was recognized in India in 2014. At least four doctors, psychiatrist, surgeon, gynecologist and a neuro surgeon are involved in the entire process of gender change surgery. Doctors say that this surgery is done only on people above 21 years of age. In children younger than this, the operation is performed only after taking written consent from the parents.

HRT can be given in the form of pills, patches, gels, and creams. Depending on individual health goals and needs, the duration of hormonal replacement therapy varies. It may take up to three months to show the full effects; however, symptom relief begins within a week. According to individual requirements, some may need short-term HRT while others may need longer treatment.
