&lt;p&gt;Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is a medical treatment designed to help individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. This treatment typically involves the use of hormones, such as estrogen or testosterone, or hormone blockers, to achieve desired changes in the body.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Masculinizing Hormone Therapy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This type of therapy assists individuals in developing more masculine traits, such as increased muscle mass, facial hair, and a deeper voice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Feminizing Hormone Therapy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This therapy helps individuals develop more feminine features, including breast development, softer skin, and a redistribution of body fat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Potential Side Effects&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While GAHT can be transformative, it may come with certain side effects. These can vary depending on the type of hormone therapy:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Masculinizing Hormone Therapy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some individuals may experience weight gain, acne, male-pattern baldness, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and changes in cholesterol levels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Feminizing Hormone Therapy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This type of therapy can sometimes lead to a decrease in libido, erectile dysfunction, or other sexual health changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Long-Term Effects&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over time, the effects of hormone therapy can cause significant changes to the body&#39;s composition, such as alterations in muscle mass, fat distribution, and bone density. It&#39;s important to note that long-term use of sex hormones can also increase the risk of cardiovascular issues, so regular medical check-ups and monitoring are essential.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
