About Gender Dysphoria
Gender dysphoria occurs when a person’s gender identity does not align with their biological sex. This disconnect can contribute to anxiety, depression, or emotional distress that interferes with daily life. Many individuals with gender dysphoria choose medical transition as part of their care journey.
Hormone-based transition—also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT)—may be an appropriate option depending on your health, goals, and circumstances. During a consultation, Dr. Singh reviews your medical and family history and may order lab testing to determine whether hormone therapy is right for you. Learn more about preparing for care here:

What Is Transgender Hormone Transition Therapy?
Transgender hormone therapy involves administering specific hormones to support physical changes that align with a person’s gender identity. Treatment plans are highly individualized:
- Transgender men may receive testosterone
- Transgender women may receive estrogen (and sometimes testosterone blockers)
Hormones can be administered through injections, oral medications, topical creams, or patches. With extensive experience in hormone-based care, the team at HEALOR® carefully determines the safest method and dosage for each patient.

What to Expect During Treatment
Hormonal changes occur gradually. Dr. Singh typically starts with lower doses to prioritize safety and allow your body to adapt. Many patients begin noticing physical changes within six months to one year after starting therapy.
Some individuals may also experience changes in libido, mood, or reproductive function. Ongoing follow-ups and lab monitoring allow adjustments to be made as your body responds. If questions arise at any point, our team is always available—reach out to us here.
