View allI'm a 26-year-old guy thinking about transitioning to female and I'm not quite sure where to start. How do I go about getting estrogen, and how much does it usually cost? Are there things I should be prepared for while going through this process?
ideally an endocrinologist or a gender-affirming clinic, for guidance on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including estrogen; they will assess your overall health, provide personalized advice, and prescribe medication if necessary; costs vary depending on location, insurance, and specific treatments, but expect around $30-100 per month for estrogen therapy; be prepared for regular monitoring, potential side effects, and emotional changes as you begin your transition journey.

Elevated Bilirubin and Liver Enzymes _Interpretation_ 1. _Total Bilirubin_: Above 1.5 mgdL is mildly elevated. 2. _SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT)_: Above 50 UL is mildly elevated. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Liver inflammation_: Mild elevation in liver enzymes can indicate liver inflammation. 2. _Bile duct obstruction_: Elevated bilirubin can indicate bile duct obstruction or liver dysfunction. 3. _Medication side effects_: Certain medications can cause elevated liver enzymes. 4. _Underlying medical conditions_: Conditions like fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, or autoimmune hepatitis. _Recommendations_ 1. _Repeat tests_: Repeat liver function tests (LFTs) and bilirubin levels to confirm the elevations. 2. _Imaging studies_: Consider ultrasound or MRI of the liver and bile ducts to rule out obstruction or structural abnormalities. 3. _Autoimmune and viral markers_: Test for autoimmune hepatitis and viral hepatitis (e.g., hepatitis B and C) to rule out underlying infections. 4. _Medication review_: Review your medications with your doctor to determine if any are contributing to the elevated liver enzymes. 5. _Consult a gastroenterologist_: Consider consulting a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and guidance. _Quantity Follow-Up_ 1. _Regular monitoring_: Regularly monitor your LFTs and bilirubin levels to track any changes. 2. _Adjust frequency_: Adjust the frequency of follow-up appointments based on the stability of your test results.
