Frequently Asked Questions
What services does Trans Care of Tennessee offer for cis and transgender individuals?
Trans Care of Tennessee provides comprehensive healthcare services tailored to both cisgender and transgender individuals. Our services include gender-affirming hormone treatments for trans men and women, testosterone therapy for cis men with testosterone deficiency, and concierge internal medicine. We focus on creating a welcoming environment for the LGBTQIA+ community, adhering to professional guidelines to ensure safe and effective care.
How does testosterone therapy benefit cis and trans men, and what should be considered before starting treatment?
Testosterone therapy can revitalize energy, strength, and sexual desire in cis men with testosterone deficiency. For trans men, it can be a powerful tool to align physical appearance with gender identity, fostering empowerment and confidence. Before starting treatment, it’s important to consider future family plans, as transitioning can be done without testosterone. We advise patients to fully understand the commitment and potential effects of therapy before starting.
