okay that might be bad but remember doctors hate trannies

ask on hrtgen and they'll probably have a solution for you

i had kidney disease and held back because of the blockers. i assume it's the blockers that are stopping you? you can skip the blockers. most people do monotherapy.
>>
give yourself tumours and cancee. better dead than repped
>>
>>42287807
if it’s not too invasive to ask, which genetic disorder do you have? I’ve heard of Addison’s Disease and Estrogen Insensitivity Syndrome, but it’s extremely extremely rare to hear cases of trans people having these conditions. Personally wanting to learn more if there are other disorder types or if it’s just one of these two.

>>42287824
Not blockers, that's not really a problem in my opinion (except for cyproterone, which is impossible for me because of the risks). Simple progesterone increases the risk of cancer.
I also thought about monotherapy, but I couldn't find anything on the subject and the “risks” involved.

>>42287821
I'll take a look at it.
>>42287851
No, that's not it. It's a disease categorized as neurological,” even though the problem is more physical
>>
>>42287834
Yeah, sure, but it's usually painful stuff, so if you're going to do it, you might as well do it without suffering.
>>
>>42287807
I just read another article saying that even estrogen can increase the risk of subcutaneous tumors. Doing it DIY is tricky—without proper medical supervision, I’m screwed

>read another article
you can't just say that. the internet is full of "articles" with no meaningful content.

fact is that almost everything increases your risk of cancer, including being tall, building muscle, and going outside. being too scared of cancer will just stop you from ever living your life.
>>
>>42289874
Indeed,
but there are very few sources/studies on the disease in question.
Let's say that I have a much greater predisposition than the average person
>>
>>42289941
what disease is it?
>>
>>42289952
NF1 But I have a “mild” case, far from the horrors you find on Google Images. I don't have disgusting things on my skin, for example.
>>
>>42287807
Unless chemical castration is a standard treatment for cis people with the condition, there is no reason to prevent you from taking HRT.
>>
>>42290000
oh shit that sucks.

is it like, an actually significant risk or just a baseline risk? maybe it's just that they're being extra cautious with you.

also how would oestrogen increase risk of tumours? you already have oestrogen in you, surely?
>>

offtopic: nice numbers, nona!
