Hormone replacement therapy (male-to-female)

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for male-to-female individuals is a form of gender-affirming therapy that involves the use of hormones to help individuals transition to the female gender. This typically involves the use of estrogens to decrease the levels of testosterone and to promote feminization of the body. HRT can also include the use of anti-androgens to block the effects of testosterone and progestogens to promote the development of breast tissue. The therapy is typically administered by a healthcare provider and is closely monitored.
