FAQs

  • It depends on your healthcare plan. We’ll guide you on the right schedule based on your treatment and transition goals.

    You can read more about typically expected schedules in our example patient profiles here.

  • Blood tests help track hormone levels, liver and kidney function, and overall health to ensure that gender-affirming healthcare treatments are effective and overall health is maintained.

  • In addition to testosterone and oestrogen we also monitor diabetes, kidney function, liver function, cholesterol levels, blood clotting, anaemia, infection, or other blood disorders.

    While not all of these are monitored in every blood test, we ensure that members undergo regular monitoring in line with their healthcare needs.
