I was born with gender dysphoria and feel a lot of internal distress about it. I'm considering male-to-female surgery but I'm not sure what hormone medications I need to take before the procedure. Can you explain what's usually prescribed and how they work?

Pre-operative hormone therapy for gender affirmation (M‚ÜíF) includes estrogen and anti-androgens (e.g., spironolactone).Consult trans-health endocrinologist to start.

I have gynacomastia and my nipples look puffy. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? I'm worried about how it looks and want to know if there are other options.
Yes, there are non-surgical options to address gynecomastia and puffy nipples. These include lifestyle changes, hormonal therapy, and potentially, certain medications. If your gynecomastia is due to hormonal imbalances or excess fat, improving your diet, exercising regularly, and potentially addressing underlying health conditions can help.

I'm really worried about my friend who's dealing with a vitamin D deficiency. Can you explain what kind of problems they might face because of this? Also, what treatments are usually recommended for someone to overcome this deficiency?
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to issues like weakened bones (osteoporosis), increased risk of fractures, fatigue, muscle weakness, mood changes, and impaired immune function; treatment typically involves supplements (1,000-2,000 IUday) and increased exposure to sunlight, as well as dietary changes to include vitamin D-rich foods like fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and mushrooms.
