When to Take Your Child to the Orthodontist

An orthodontist is a dentist who has completed extra study in how to straighten teeth by bringing the teeth, jaw bones and facial profile into proper alignment. The best time for a child to visit an orthodontist is between the ages of five and seven. They are already beginning to get permanent teeth and any problems from overbite and crowding will be noticeable. As most growth happens before…

Hi Gigi! 💖

11 or 87 for the fic game?

Helloooo Calli! I guess im in a super ridiculously fluffy mood rn, this is going to be a 2 for 1 because i definitely want to draw this scene for fourth of july, hope you like it! :)

87. “Stay awake.”

“Gallagher” Mickey drawled out, crooning in his ear.

Ian did his best to hum in response, but the warm evening air mixing with the light summer breeze felt just too comforting, and the rhythmic laping of Lake Michigan against the shore too hypnotic.

The joint they split and the two beers he’d finished were settling heavily over his brain and most importantly, his husbands chest was so firm and warm behind him from where Ian was leaning back, seated between his legs. It was all just too much, and he was fighting a loosing battle against sleep despite his husbands protests.

“Gallagher” Mickey repeated, a little more whining this time. “You can’t drag me out here with half of the fucking city to watch the fireworks and then fall asleep on me. I could be shooting off bottle rocketswith Sandy and Carl right now, stay the fuck awake.”

“‘m awake” Ian defended weakly, not opening his eyes. He settled even more comfortably against his husbands soft body, and exhaled a contented breath.

Mickey brought both hands up to either side of Ian’s head, scratching at his scalp slightly before shaking his head back and forth with each word. “Mickey” he whined, doing a high pitched impersonation of his husband “lets go to the beach this Fourth of July, we can bring beers and watch the big fireworks, maybe even bring some gay ass sparklers. There definitely won’t be a million fucking people around us and I definitely won’t park my ginormous ass in the sand and fall asleep.”

“-doesn’t even sound like me” Ian pouted. “I’m just resting my eyes.”

Leaning over, Mickey pressed a loud kiss against his cheek, making Ian twitch “you are a fucking liar is what you are.”

Knowing that the big groups of people were all preoccupied with their own celebrations, Mickey started smacking kisses all over his husbands face, punctuated by little nibbling bites against his cheek and jaw. He could feel his husband’s smile against his skin, he smelled like beer and summer and Ian’s favorite brand of deodorant.

Ian wasn’t really the giggling type, so he blamed it on being half asleep when his husbands playful treatment roused happy, bubbling giggles from him.

When Mickey finally kissed his husbands lips, Ian actually opened his eyes, blearily leaning up and twisting to chase him for a second before they were interrupted by a deafening boom!

Ian snapped back towards the lake, where brilliant reds, blues and whites were raining down and reflected on the dark, expansive lake.

Mickey didn’t say anything, but from the way he snaked his arms around Ian’s torso, holding him tightly and pressing his cheek against the top of Ian’s head, Ian could tell he was enjoying the show.

Red and white, shooting up with a whizzing wail of anticipation. Another one, pure gold exploding in the air. Ian was fully awake, at least for now, and he was fixated on the dazzling display before them.

The Philly Palestine Coalition on Monday began a petition that demanded the cancellation of the film festival, which is co-sponsored by Israel Bonds, the Consulate General of Israel, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Pennsylvania. The pro-Palestinian group falsely claimed that Israel Bonds “finances the Israeli government’s budget” and “directly contributes to the displacement of Palestinians, the expansion of unlawful settlements, and unchecked settler violence.” The petition also falsely accused the state of Israel of genocide, apartheid, and occupation in its treatment of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip.

According to the Israel Bonds website, proceeds from the sale of bonds have contributed to Israel’s growth in high-tech, cleantech, and biotech. Capital from Israel bonds have also “helped strengthen every aspect of Israel’s economy, enabling national infrastructure development … [and] expanded transportation networks enabled by investments in Israel bonds help facilitate shipment of ‘Made in Israel’ technology around the world, enhancing national export growth.”

Soon after facing pressure from the Philly Palestine Coalition, the BMFI announced on Monday it pulled the screening of The Child Within Me — a day before the scheduled event.

“Bryn Mawr Film Institute is not a political organization. We don’t endorse or oppose any causes,” the BMFI said in a released statement. “In past years, we have not regarded hosting a screening from the Israeli Film Festival as a political partnership or taking a stance on any issues. This was our feeling when we arranged the 2024 screening many months ago. However, as the situation in Israel and Gaza has developed, it has become clear that our showing this movie is being widely taken among individuals and institutions in our community as an endorsement of Israel’s recent and ongoing actions. This is not a statement we intended or wish to make.”

“BMFI is a safe place for civil and nuanced conversations about diverse stories,” the film institute added. “For the well-being and safety of all patrons, BMFI will not be a location for anger and violence. For those who wish to partake in an IFF screening, there are upcoming screenings at other venues.”

The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia and the Anti-Defamation League’s chapter in Philadelphia were outraged by the move. They urged the BMFI to immediately reverse its decision to cancel the screening.

“Although BMFI states that this decision was made in an attempt to avoid controversy, this action only serves to blacklist Israeli culture, playing into the hands of antisemites who try to deny the Jewish people their voice and existence,” the two Jewish organizations said in a joint statement on Tuesday. “The IFF intentionally offers a multifaceted view of Israeli society. Each season, carefully curated feature films and documentaries provide glimpses into the intricate tapestry of Israeli life, allowing audiences to form their own informed opinions … Let us celebrate cultural diversity, promote dialogue, and recognize the transformative power of film in connecting us all.”

Features breast expansion, nbpreg , lactation, cnc, weight gain, kidnapping.

They are just waiting for a huge greedy cow like you to walk out of the fast food joint, and seeing your big sacks of fat bouncing and jiggling, burger still in hand, they know you would be perfect. When you walk past our van the three of them grab you, roughly tossing you into the back. They didn't even wait till they got you home, as soon as you were thrown in the van the two in the back with you ripped your shirt open, exposing your tits. 'They're good, fatty,' they say, 'but not good enough... yet.' Immediately vacuum pumps are placed over your nipples, the suction turned up high, pulling them painfully but pleasurably outwards before releasing to start all over again. On arrival at the hideaway, your new home, or more accurately, barn, you find yourself shepherded into an indoor cage the size of a small room that sits in the middle of a much larger room. It has metal bars around all sides and its concrete floor is covered in straw. The only items in the room are a blanket in one corner and a massive feeding trough pride of place in the middle. Before locking you away in your cage, you are stripped naked and a leather collar with a leash and cowbell is attached around your neck, hinting at your life to come.

A few hours pass before your first treatment comes. They enter your cage, locking it behind them, and carry in a big tube of some unknown cream, a syringe, and a large bucket. While two of them hold you still, the third quickly injects the narrow syringe into the fat roll on your hip, then squirts a thick, cold, pale yellow cream directly onto your exposed tits. 'Get this into you, heifer' you are commanded as the cream is massaged roughly into your heavy tits. You notice a tingling start in your chest, the cream going to work on your drooping udders. The tingling grows and you see them redden. They appear to swell slightly and the pleasurable sensation grows and sends shivers down your back, heat rising between your legs. You touch them and gasp, the lotion has magnified their sensitivity to the point where the slightest touch is euphoria. 'Ooh I think they like it,' one says playfully to the others. 'Lets have some fun with them.' One of your tits is grabbed and it sends a shock of pleasure straight into your brain. As your jugs are fondled you go weak at the knees, arousal building deep inside you. When your nipple is pinched you immediately orgasm, waves of pleasure rocking your body. The person standing on the other side of you holds and twists the other nipple, and a second orgasm rips through you. You lose count of how many times you cum as your tits are squeezed and nipples tugged and pinched. Having had their fun, the captors say 'What a good cow. I think we made the right choice of heifer.' Before leaving, the bucket is tipped out into the trough in the middle of the room. You look over and see it has been filled to the brim with some sort of creamy slop. 'Eat up fatty, you get more tit cream when it's gone,' you're told before being left alone in your cage.

You rest panting in your cage, spent. Eventually the feeling in your tits begins to wane. Only the swelling remains, the sweet tingling and heightened sensitivity gone, leaving you craving more. That's when you remember the food that was slopped down for you. Knees too weak to stand, you crawl over to the metal trough in the middle of the room, belly barely clearing the straw matting. It was bigger up close and full of creamy chicken and bacon pasta. Not having eaten in hours you are ravenous, and shove fat handfuls into a watering mouth. The trough of pasta quickly empties, enough to fill even your cavernous gut. As you eat you go into a daze, mindlessly consuming vast quantities of food. Eventually you are completely stuffed, and you see you have somehow almost finished the whole trough, only scraps remaining. Through the fog in your brain you somehow remember that you need to finish it all. The individual bits of pasta and bacon at the bottom prove too slippery for your fat fingers to grasp, so, your last traces of dignity disappearing, you lower your head to the metal and slurp and lick the dregs straight from the trough against the protests of your stomach. Satisfied that you have done enough to earn more of that amazing lotion, your need to rest and digest overcomes you, and you crawl over to the corner and fall asleep on your cow print blanket.

When you wake, you notice a rhythmic mechanical sound nearby. Looking down you see the pumps have been reattached to your tits as you slept. 'Oh good, out fat cow is awake,' you hear as two of your captors enter your cage again. Removing the pump, you are again held still while you are injected and cream applied. 'Won't be long till these fertility hormones and this breast stimulant do their jobs. Look, his udders are already growing,' one points out excitedly to the other. 'Good cow,' the second says, patting your rump firmly. 'Soon you'll be ready to breed, and then we can really get your milk flowing.' As soon as those words were uttered you knew you were in the right place, that you had achieved your life's true calling. You needed nothing more than to become their perfect breeding dairy cow.

This becomes the routine and you lose track of all time. You have no idea even of how many times a day you are being lotioned, orgasmed, fed and pumped. You feel yourself losing your ability to think clearly, the cycle of pleasure that consumes all your waking moments begins to be all you can think about. That and the promise that soon you will be ready to fill with cum and grow large with child and milk, aching to be used by these people that are taking care of your every desire and swell with their seed. The effects of the treatments, though, are apparent even in your stupor. Your tits are no longer flat and floppy like you think they used to be. Instead, they become perky and very round, as if permanently swollen. They have also grown a few sizes, now about the size of cantaloupes, sitting more prominently out from your chest, with elongated nipples from all the pumping. Between the hormones and the food your belly, ass and especially hips become even fatter, and much wider, and more than anything you look overwhelmingly fertile. Your captors regularly make comments on how well you're doing, about what a good obedient cow you're becoming, about how round and plump and swollen your udders are feeling, and about how you are almost ready. You certainly feel ready, you are now almost permanently aroused from the combination of the fertility drugs, your overstimulated tits, and the feeling of just how truly massive you have become.

'Moo for us, cow' they command, entering your cage once more. By now you have lost almost all ability to think beyond your next meal and your next orgasm. Mindlessly obeying any command, you let out a hearty 'Mooooooo.' You are told, 'Good cow. Guess what? It's your lucky day...' one says. You notice that the usual needle and cream does not come, instead they strip naked and pull on your leash, directing you to crawl over to an empty space in the room. 'Those drugs should have released plenty of your eggs, heifer. With any luck, we will all put a baby inside you today.' You have been slick with arousal for days, your musk sent of a cow in heat filling the room, and you are desperate to be filled, sticking your ass into the air in anticipation. You need no lube as you easily take the first cock in your waiting hole. The cock pounds away, penetrating deep inside you, balls slapping hard against you, and it's not long before your fertile womb is filling with warm cum. As soon as you feel the spasming dick inside you still, it is replaced by another, shorter but thicker. You moo instinctively in pleasure, fully identifying as the breeding cow they have made you into, and that you needed to be. The thick cock easily glides in and out of you, and it too pumps jets of cum into a waiting womb. This time when it pulls out, you feel a stream of warm sticky cum run down the chunky cellulite of your inner thighs, your cavern overflowing with seed. Again it is replaced as soon as it is spent, a cock as wide as the last but longer and curved now filling you up. After being pounded by three hung cocks you are at the edge, and your climax grips the dick inside you, causing it to pulse, its owner grunting in primal release. Your orgasmic contractions pull the cum into your womb with the others, three lots of sperm travelling up inside you to fertilise who knows how many eggs.

Over the next months you continue to eat copious amounts of food, even more so now you are carrying and growing so much life inside you. You have no idea how many are implanted into your womb, but with the rate at which your belly is expanding, you know there has to be more than one, and probably at least three. There is no longer any need for the fertility drugs or the breast stimulant. Your udders begin growing rapidly all by themselves, spurred on by your multiple pregnancy. They grow six cup sizes in a week, now the size of large watermelons, hanging firm and heavy over your belly. Milk starts leaking from your udders almost as soon as you are bred. They quickly become milk-laden, agonisingly so. You need the pump almost almost around the clock to relieve the pressure in your massive, aching udders, copious amounts of milk collected in vats next to your cage.

A second feeding trough needs to be installed in your room, your appetite now insatiable. You spend your days greedily eating the calorie dense slop that fills your troughs or suckling at your newly installed feeding tube, which contains a hydrating nutrition shake, specifically designed to keep pregnant cows like you and their unborn babies growing big. Your belly now easily drags on the floor when you move around on all fours, and so do your udders, the pumps squished between your engorged flesh and the straw. All you know how to do apart from gorge yourself is to fondle your milk filled udders and caress your huge pregnant belly while you grow more and more enormous. If anything, your growth and the pregnancy makes you even more horny. There is not a moment in the day where you aren't aching to be filled and fucked again, the days long past where you can reach down to pleasure yourself.

Your udders now produce so much milk that when not being pumped, they immediately swell with milk and it isn't long before the pressure causes them to spray warm white milk all over your blubbery belly and straw matting as you lay expanding in your cage. Thankfully, during the time the pump is removed for daily cleaning, your captors usually come in to to take advantage of your expansive body and squirting udders. You are so large and swollen you can't possibly resist, and you don't want to, their debauchery giving you the sexual pleasure you constantly crave. They all take turns suckling at your sweet milk while you yourself suck at your shake, laying there like a huge mother cow, their mouths on your teats giving far more release and pleasure than the pump ever could. You then get given a thorough fucking, each taking turns using your holes and swinging udders. You are worked from both ends simultaneously, one resting while another pounds your sloppy hole and the other presses your giant fatty milk bags easily around their cock and making them spray warm white milk all over both of you as you both climax.

Your days continue like this, and eventually it comes time to start all over again, injecting you with fertility hormones and breeding you once again. You become fatter and milkier every pregnancy, carrying more babies each time. Your only sense of time passing is the number of times you have been bred. You have fulfilled your true purpose in life of becoming a mindless breeding dairy cow.

Flag of the Dominion of Manchukuo

This is the flag of the Dominion of Manchukuo. It comes from a world where the World Wars never happened. There were still tension between the major colonial powers, and occasional flare-ups, but no major wars ever occurred. Thought, it wasn’t all fun and games. The Austro -Hungarian Empire suffered a rather nasty collapse. Russia still suffered a civil war, and the royal family were executed, but the Whites came out on top. Still, a major worldwide war thankfully remains only a hypothetical scenario.

Japan sought to expand its empire much as it did in our world. Korea still became a Japanese colony, as in our world, but Japan didn’t try to suppress Korean culture to the extent that it did in our world. In fact, forced assignation programs were officially ended by the late 1920s. As in our timeline, the Qing Dynasty of China was overthrown and replaced by a republic. However, Japan acted as a peacekeeping force to ensure stability within the fledgling Republic of China. Japan also invested money into joint economic ventures within China. However, in return, Japan requested preferential treatment in all trade agreements with China. Japan also requested that Manchuria be ceded to them, which China readily agreed to. Thus, the province of Manchukuo was born.

Manchukuo provided raw materials for Japan’s growth and expansion, as well as new living space for Japanese citizens. Manchukuo provided a launch pad for the next phase of Japan’s expansion. Japan would not just expand outwards across East Asia, but also upwards into space itself. However, this could not be a task that Japan could accomplish on its own. Japan courted the United States of America as a partner by appealing to the economic opportunities a space program would create. Manchukuo served as the heart of Japan’s rocket production and launch facilities. The other major colonial powers initially didn’t pay the Japanese-American space program much mind. Then the first artificial satellite was launched, and then the first manned space flight. The nations of Europe really sat-up when Japan and America made major advances towards the Moon. Japan and American intended to set-up settlements to mine resources from the Moon. Britain, France, and Germany soon established their own joint space program to compete with Japan and America.

The 20th Century was marked not by wars and totalitarianism, but by progress and optimism. The major powers of the world achieved major advances in spaceflight and technological innovation. America and Japan added other nations to their space alliance. China was first, but Mexico and Cuba followed soon as well. Mexico and Cuba enjoy a standard of living equal to that of America, and are largely free of corruption. The Philippines, upon receiving their independence, also joined the alliance, and enjoys economic prosperity equal to that of Japan and America.

By the present day, numerous permeant colonies have been established across the solar system. The nations of the Pan-Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere are particularly well represented. Still, the members of the London-Berlin-Paris-Rome Axis are certainly no slouches when it comes to space colonization. Nuclear fusion reactors, running on helium-3 from the lunar mines, provides clean and cheap power for much of the world. Advances have also been made in the efficiency of solar panels, and floating wind turbine balloons capture the strong breezes of the upper atmosphere. Artificial intelligence and the Internet are even more advanced than in our own timeline. Decolonization still occurred, but the former colonial powers made sure to invest in the economies and infrastructure of their former colonies. Most former colonies still have strong ties to their former rulers. Some colonies opted to become incorporated into their parent nations. For example, Gabon opted to become part of the French metropole.

Japan allowed Manchukuo to receive increased autonomy over the years. Eventually, Manchukuo became a self-governing dominion of the Japanese Empire. Manchukuo even has its own royal family, via a cadet branch of the Qing royal family. Manchukuo is reasonably happy with its relationship to Japan. Recently, however, several revelations have shaken this good will. It has come to light the Japan used slave labor from Manchukuo and Korea at several of its rocket facilities during the early days of the space program. These slave laborers were typically poltical dissidents, and those deemed undesirable by the Japanese government. The 21st Century has a general feeling of optimism. And yet, many wonder what other skeletons Japan is hiding in its closet.

The flag features the color gold, a traditional symbol of Manchuria. It features the imperial seal of Manchukuo in the center. The white is to offset the gold bands, and pairs well with the gold. The flag ratio is a Canadian Pale, though in the world of the flag, the term is instead known as the Manchukuo Pale.

Link to the original flag on my blog: https://drakoniandgriffalco.blogspot.com/2022/05/flag-of-dominion-of-manchukuo.html?m=0

President Joe Biden turns the Medical Marijuana Research Bill into law, changing how American scientists can do research on marijuana.

As anticipated by Marijuana Moment last week, the White House announced on Friday that President Biden signed the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion Act, "which establishes a new registration process for conducting research on marijuana and for manufacturing marijuana products for research purposes and drug development."

The bipartisan bill was introduced in July, quickly passed in the House in the same month, and unanimously approved by the Senate in November.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (Democrat), who sponsored the bill, released a joint press statement along with Cannabis Caucus Co-Chairs Barbara Lee (Democrat), Dave Joyce (Republican), and Brian Mast (Republican) stressing the importance of such achievement.

"For decades, the federal government has stood in the way of science and progress—peddling a misguided and discriminatory approach to cannabis. Today marks a monumental step in remedying our federal cannabis laws. The Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion Act will make it easier to study the impacts and potential of cannabis," the statement reads.

Furthermore, the Representatives highlighted how fundamental is medical research on marijuana to understand the full medicinal potential of the plant to treat a wide array of medical conditions and pledged to work on ending the war on drugs through a series of upcoming proposals that will reshape the status of marijuana at the federal level.

The law significantly eases the lives of scientists who wish to study marijuana for medical purposes, as they had to follow strict regulations that could delay their research.

The new legislation removes federal restrictions in order to ease research from studying the plant and speeds up the application process to approve marijuana-related scientific studies.

Under the new law, the federal government has to ensure an adequate, uninterrupted supply of marijuana available to scientists for studies on medical marijuana.

Therefore, researchers will be able to learn more about the plant's medical properties and request large amounts of marijuana to use for research.

In fact, the legislation now requires that within 60 days of receiving a researcher's application, the U.S. Attorney General has to approve it, request more information, or deny it specifying the reasons. If researchers submit more information upon request, the Attorney General has 30 days to decide.

Universities and research institutions will now be able to acquire U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) license to grow, manufacture, distribute, dispense and possess marijuana for research purposes, with guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Food And Drug Administration.

Scientists who wish to do marijuana research may update their protocol without informing the DEA if the quantity and form of marijuana, the source, and the storage conditions of the material won't change.

The legislation also encourages the FDA to develop marijuana-derived medicines and addresses the HHS to determine the potential medical benefits of marijuana or cannabidiol (or CBD) as a drug.

The Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion Act also intervenes in the doctor-patient relationship by allowing physicians to discuss the currently known potential harms and benefits of marijuana cannabinoids, such as CBD, as a treatment or the known possible damages and benefits of marijuana and its compounds.

Nevertheless, the legislation doesn't allow scientists to obtain marijuana from state-run dispensaries and won't reschedule marijuana at the federal level.

In fact, marijuana will remain illegal at the federal level under Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act.

However, the legislation represents a significant step forward for medical research on marijuana in the U.S.

Before the new law, doing research on marijuana was very difficult in the U.S. as scientists needed approval from multiple agencies to conduct studies, which could sometimes take years.

Furthermore, scientists were only allowed to use marijuana grown by the University of Mississippi, although the DEA has recently awarded six other marijuana cultivation licenses for research to U.S. companies.

Biden's signature of The Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion Act follows the executive order in October pardoning about 6,500 individuals convicted for marijuana possession at the federal level.

On that occasion, he also asked the Secretary of the HHS and the Attorney General to "initiate the process of reviewing how marijuana is scheduled under federal law."

Although the new law doesn't implement more reform at the federal level, it may pave the way for new federal legislation on marijuana, such as the SAFE Banking Act, that may ease the federal restrictions on the marijuana industry.

Finding a knowledgeable and experienced doctor administering FTM testosterone treatments can be overwhelming. With the wide variety of healthcare professionals available, knowing what qualities to look for when choosing a physician for your hormone therapy needs is essential.

In this article, we will provide tips on how to find the best FTM testosterone doctor near you. We will discuss factors such as qualifications and experience, cost of treatment, availability, location, and other considerations before choosing a provider. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that you are receiving high-quality care from a qualified professional who understands your unique needs.

What Is An FTM Testosterone Doctor?

An FTM testosterone doctor is a highly specialized physician who specializes in the well-being of individuals who identify as female to male (FTM). This type of doctor is dedicated to providing transgender people with the best possible care when it comes to hormone replacement therapy. They are knowledgeable on the impacts and risks that come with transitioning, as well as various other healthcare needs associated with gender transition.

FTM testosterone doctors understand that transgender patients' needs are unique and they strive to be sensitive, respectful, and reassuring of their individual needs. During the consultation, they must be able to draw from a variety of expertise areas to guide the patient to the best possible health care choice.

Such expanded services may include listening skills, counseling, and educational resources such as advice on how to counteract negative life changes or cope with dysphoria. Ultimately, FTM testosterone doctors want to provide the gender expansive population with access to safe and effective healthcare treatments so they can continue living fulfilling lives.

Services And Therapies Offered By FTM Testosterone Doctors

FTM testosterone doctors typically offer a variety of services and therapies to help their patients transition. These can include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), feminizing procedures, body contouring, psychological counseling, laser hair removal, and voice training.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone Replacement Therapy is the most common therapy offered by FTM testosterone doctors. HRT involves taking medications such as testosterone to help reduce female sex characteristics, promote the development of male characteristics and improve sexual functioning. HRT is usually taken in conjunction with other therapies, such as counseling and lifestyle changes, to achieve desired results.

Side Effects Of Hormone Treatment

Hormone therapy is a common treatment for various medical conditions, but it can have some side effects. Common side effects of hormone therapy may include nausea, headache, dizziness, menstrual changes, and hot flashes.

Male pattern baldness can also be attributed to hormone therapy, as some treatments can cause an imbalance in hormone levels which can lead to hair loss. Body hair growth and voice changes can also be side effects of hormone therapy, depending on the type of treatment used.

Other possible side effects include weight gain or loss, joint pain, fatigue, depression, and anxiety. Long-term use of hormone therapy can also increase the risk of cancer in breast tissue. Additionally, hormone therapy can put you at risk of developing blood clots or stroke. It is important to discuss any risks with your doctor before starting any type of hormone therapy. Your doctor may be able to suggest alternative treatments or ways to reduce the chance of side effects.

It’s important to discuss any changes in your health that you experience while on hormone therapy so your doctor can adjust your treatment accordingly. With careful monitoring and the right precautions, it is possible to safely use hormone therapy to treat various medical conditions.

Feminizing Procedures

It's also helpful to get an idea of their views on hormone therapy and any specific protocols or policies they may have in place.

Consider Location, Availability, and Accessibility

When selecting a doctor, it's also worth considering the location and availability of their practice. Find out how far away they are from your home or workplace and if they offer flexible appointment times that fit in with your schedule. Additionally, check to see if they have a virtual appointment option available for those who may not be able to travel. Lastly, make sure the doctor is accessible to you – do they provide phone or email support outside of appointments? All of these factors can help ensure that you get the best care possible.

Talk to Other Patients

Finally, it's a good idea to talk to other patients who have already worked with the doctor you're considering. Ask them about their experiences and if they would recommend the doctor. You can often find this information on online forums or social media groups dedicated to discussing the type of treatment you are interested in.

By doing your research and carefully considering all your options, you can find the best doctor for you. A successful shift is more likely if you take your time and gather all the information you need before making a choice. Good luck!

What Questions Should I Ask My Doctor?

When visiting your doctor, it is important to ask questions. Be sure to bring a list of all the medications you are taking and any relevant medical history. It's also crucial that you fully grasp the explanations your doctor provides. Here are some common questions that can help you learn more about your diagnosis, treatment plan, and overall health:
