The first step to treatment MTF is hormone usage and the goal of this treatment is a reduction of secondary sexual characteristics hormones or genitalia of the core gender. The Standard of this treatment is established by SOC . Sometimes there is some problem for hormone usage by transgender people to use nonmedical hormones and noncontrol usage so it is important to be under psychiatric control and use dosage in according to the SOC standards because nonmedical hormone usage can have side effects and be harmful to health.
