Gender-affirming hormone therapy is an effective and safe short-term treatment in Thai transgender men. Apart from the standard recommendation, uric acid, plasma glucose, and creatinine level evaluation before and during masculinizing hormone therapy are rational practices. An intramuscular testosterone enanthate 250 mg every 4 weeks is an alternative masculinizing regimen with decent efficacy and safety profile.
