hi, i'm dr. Maddie deutsch, associate professor of clinical family & community medicine at the university of california – san francisco (ucsf), and medical director for ucsf transgender care. In this document i will provide an overview of gender affirming masculinizing hormone therapy, including choices, risks, and unknowns associated with testosterone therapy.
As you prepare to begin treatment, now is a great time to think through what your goals are, as the approach to hormone therapy is definitely not one-size-fits-all. Do you want to get started right away on a path to the maximum safe effects? or, do you want to begin at a lower dose and allow things to progress more slowly? perhaps your long term goal is to seek less-than-maximal effects and you would like to remain on a low dose for the long term.

Testosterone, hormone produced by the male testis that is responsible for development of the male sex organs and masculine characteristics , including facial hair and deepening of the voice. Testosterone was isolated from testicular extracts in 1935. Its discovery followed that of an androgen (male hormone) called androsterone , which was isolated from urine in 1931. However, testosterone proved to be more potent than androsterone, which was later shown to be a biochemical product (a metabolite) of testosterone. A healthy man produces about 5 mg (1. 8 × 10−4 ounces) of testosterone daily. Testosterone serves as a circulating prohormone for a more active androgen called dihydrotestosterone.
Men who have low testosterone do not make enough of the male hormone called testosterone. This hormone allows men to produce sperm and to develop and keep normal physical male traits. Low testosterone is also called testosterone deficiency or hypogonadism. Low testosterone can lead to problems such as loss of sex drive, erection problems, infertility, and weakened bones.
