#+title: Feminizing hormone therapy
* How should estrogen be administered?
Options include:
- Oral sub-lingual pills
- Transdermal patches
- Injections
High-dose oral estradiol carries a higher risk of blood clots; lower-dose
transdermal patches may be a preferable option[[file:JerilynnCPrior1968.org][*]].
* Is Progesterone an important addition to a feminizing HRT regimen?
A paper published in [[file:JerilynnCPrior1968.org][The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism by
Jerilynn C. Prior]] claims that the addition of progesterone may yield improved
feminization and breast development in transgender women.
