For many trans and nonbinary patients, stopping or reducing menstrual cycles can be an important part of feeling more comfortable in their bodies. This process, known as menstrual suppression, can be achieved through several options, such as hormonal IUDs, birth control pills, injections, or implants. We work together with you to choose an approach that best supports your goals, making adjustments as your needs and comfort evolve over time.

Endometrial ablation is a procedure designed to significantly reduce or stop menstrual bleeding by taking out the lining of the uterus. It’s often recommended for individuals who have not found relief with hormonal suppression or who want a long-term solution that doesn’t involve a hysterectomy. This effective and safe treatment is customized to fit each person’s anatomy, health needs, and preferences.

A hysterectomy is a surgical removal of the uterus and sometimes the ovaries. It can be an affirming step for patients seeking gender-related surgery. This procedure may be part of a broader care plan, and our role is to ensure you have clear, thorough information before making any decision. We discuss recovery expectations, potential risks, and fertility considerations so you can go ahead with confidence, knowing you are supported with expert, compassionate care.

Comprehensive gender-affirming care also includes support for your mental well-being. Whether you’re managing dysphoria, navigating family relationships, or moving through transitions, having a safe place to talk matters. We connect you with experienced, affirming mental health professionals who understand the challenges you face. Together, we help you explore your feelings, clarify your goals, and protect your mental health, because emotional wellness is every bit as important as physical care.

Certain medical checks are often required before gender-affirming surgery. These may include lab testing, imaging, and letters from healthcare providers. Our team guides you through this process, explaining each step so you know exactly what to expect. Beyond meeting requirements, these screenings help protect your health, prepare you for surgery, and ensure you feel fully ready when the time comes.

When your care journey requires additional expertise, we connect you with trusted providers in the community. This may include specialists in hormone therapy, surgical care, vocal training, or legal assistance. Our referrals are intentional and thoughtful, ensuring that each step forward is supported by professionals who honor your identity and respect your choices.
