The hormones are taken for around eighteen months prior to the gender reassignment surgery taking place; where the male genitals are then surgically sculptured to resemble female genitalia.
Female sexual characteristic such as breast, soft smooth skin & female curves also develop with the help of taking feminine hormones. The hormone Climaval (Oestradiol Valerate 2mg) which I began by taking one tablet for three months then two tablets for three & so on. I was also prescribed Finasteride 5mg POM, taken once a day as help promote hair growth on the crown of the head. The hormones I have been prescribed made it possible for me to change my sex from male to female.
Please note you need to Get advice from your Doctor before taking any hormone medication as these can be dangerous.
Vaniqa 11.5% cream helps to combat unwanted hair growth, by inhibiting its growth. The cream needs to be well rub into the skin & applied twice a day & having been applied needs to be left on for at least ten minutes each time, prior to the application of foundation.
For better result leave the foundation to dry and then apply another coat leaving that to dry before applying eye shadow & blusher. Clothing & foot wear is easily purchase from women's fashion shops, it's an individual choice. Many second hand shop are a very good start clothes are very cheap & see many women purchasing clothes, shoes hand bags here as well.
After the operation you also need to carry out dilating three times a day. The use of disposable baby changing mats & baby wipes help to keep you clean. The use of KY jelly with the warm glass dilators helps making dilating easier. It is possible to have sexual intercourse after a few months or so but most transsexual sex drive recovers after some years not straight away.
