You don’t need to supplement with hormones per se after an orchie or SRS.
Vitamin D in high doses, calcium and Vitamin B12 can keep depression, osteoporosis and hot flashes away.
A good collagen supplement will keep the skin elastic, smooth and young.
It’s not like you will live a horrible life without sex hormones, as long as you take supplements that can fulfill the function of hormones.
I know a trans woman of 56 who had SRS in 1991 and stopped hormones after SRS. She believes Estradiol didn’t do much for her and the loss of testosterone was what caused her to feminize, rather than the addition of Estradiol.
She lives a healthy and happy life.
Looks around 50 years old and the last time I saw her she had had a health check-up and was just fine.
I also know a trans girl of 27 who can’t take Estradiol because she has a clotting disorder called Factor Van Leiden. She had an orchiectomy to stop further masculinization, has had a breast augmentation and is getting SRS next week. She transitioned without hormones. She takes vitamin and calcium supplements as well as minerals in high doses. Looks like a girl to me. A happy one.
Hormones are not even mandatory in dr Reed his Office in Miami, to have SRS. He will perform SRS with two letters, without being on hormones.
