Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy & Inclusive GYN Care

All Your Questions Answered

What is transgender care?

For our transgender patients, whether you identify as male, female, or nonbinary, you have unique health care needs, including gynecological care and exams, hormone therapy, and gender reassignment support. The transgender community is often underserved due to a lack of training and understanding. Patients are also sometimes reluctant to seek out reproductive health care for many reasons. For example, you might think it isn’t necessary to have pelvic exams or Pap smears if you no longer have periods or penetrative vaginal sex. Some patients find the process of a gynecological exam triggers mental and emotional issues around their gender identity. At MORE901, Dr. Lacy and her team provide compassionate and sensitive reproductive health care to every patient, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation. Working with a trusted, expert physician can help you protect and improve your health so you can lead a healthy and fulfilling life.
