Care

In order to receive gender-affirming hormone therapy services at Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, you must be 18 or older and able to provide consent.

While patients under 18 cannot receive hormone therapy, they may have a consultation with a provider to understand treatment options and to receive medications to stop their periods (if desired).

Please schedule an appointment online or contact us at 1-888-743-PLAN to schedule an appointment for an initial hormone therapy visit or any other health services you might be seeking. At this appointment, we will review your medical history, review an informed consent form, and draw lab tests. If you’re seeking hormones, depending on your medical history, we will either prescribe the hormones to you at your first visit or wait to prescribe them until we get your lab results back.

Planned Parenthood is dedicated to making health care accessible and welcoming to everyone who needs care, no matter what.

Your clinician will discuss your hormone therapy options with you to select the right option for you.

Some hormones used for gender-affirming hormone therapy are administered through an injection that is performed at home by the person using the hormone, or the person using hormones might have someone they trust give them the injection. If you will be using an injectable hormone, Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest staff can provide training on how to give yourself an injection, and there are videos for your reference here on our website.
