Gender-affirming care is an essential part of healthcare for many transgender and nonbinary individuals, providing access to medical treatments that support their gender identity and overall well-being. Gender-affirming hormone therapy is one of the most common medical interventions, helping to align physical characteristics with gender identity.

GAHT begins with a comprehensive consultation, where medical history, transition goals, and lab work are reviewed. Dr. Lakshman takes the time to discuss what changes to expect, how quickly they may occur, and any potential side effects. Regular follow-ups help make sure that your hormone levels remain in a healthy range, with adjustments made as needed.
For transgender women and transfeminine individuals, GAHT often involves estrogen, androgen blockers, and/or progesterone.
For transgender men and transmasculine individuals, it typically involves testosterone.
Each person’s transition is unique, and your regimen can be adjusted over time to help you get the best results for your individual goals.
Many of our patients began gender-affirming care with a pediatric endocrinologist. At Revive MD, patients receive continuity of care that ensures hormone therapy remains safe and effective while supporting long-term health. Lab work, dosage adjustments, and overall wellness are carefully managed to provide a smooth and supportive transition into adult care.
The decision to start GAHT is deeply personal. If aligning your physical characteristics with your gender identity is important for feeling whole and affirmed, GAHT may be beneficial. Before beginning treatment, a consultation with an experienced provider can help you explore goals, expectations, and any health considerations. Revive MD provides a supportive, informed space to discuss all aspects of care.
Changes depend on the type of hormone therapy being used, and these changes can occur gradually over months or years.
Every person responds differently, and regular monitoring helps ensure that your treatment aligns with your transition goals.
Yes! Dr. Lakshman can refer you to trusted specialists for gender-affirming surgery and, if desired, a gender identity therapist for additional support during the transition process. Each patient’s journey is unique, and Revive MD is here to help connect you with the right resources.
