Personalised, evidence-based hormone therapy for trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse individuals in a respectful, inclusive, and medically supervised environment.

Treatment may support:
- Breast development.
- Softer skin and fat redistribution.
- Reduced muscle mass.
- Reduced body and facial hair growth.

Our endocrinology team provides personalised feminising HRT with regular monitoring and endocrine follow-up.

- Facial and body hair growth.

Our endocrinology team provides personalised testosterone therapy with regular monitoring and long-term follow-up.

Not all patients seek full masculinisation or feminisation. We provide individualised HRT plans for non-binary and gender-diverse individuals.
Options may include:
- Low-dose testosterone.
- Low-dose oestrogen.
- Anti-androgens alone.
- Partial transition protocols.
- Custom hormone combinations.
Every treatment plan is adapted to the patient’s personal goals and desired outcomes.
Hormonal Monitoring & Follow-up
Safe hormone therapy requires regular monitoring and endocrine supervision to ensure both safety and treatment effectiveness.
We provide:

- Blood testing and hormone analysis.
- Treatment management.
- Ongoing endocrine monitoring.
- Dose adjustments when needed.
- Long-term follow-up care.
Blood tests are typically performed before starting treatment, then at 3 months, 6 months, and annually once hormone levels are stable. Monitoring may include testosterone, oestrogen, liver function, metabolic markers, and other key health indicators depending on the treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions
In this section, you’ll find answers to frequently asked questions about gender-affirming hormone therapy, treatment options, hormone monitoring, and how consultations work at Medical Care Barcelona.
Our goal is to help you better understand the transition process, treatment pathways, and what to expect before starting hormone therapy.
1. What Is Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy (HRT)?
Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy (HRT) uses hormones such as oestrogen and testosterone to support physical changes that align the body with a person’s gender identity and transition goals.
Depending on individual needs, treatment may help with:
- Feminisation for trans women and transfeminine individuals.
- Masculinisation for trans men and transmasculine individuals.
- Personalised hormonal changes for non-binary and gender-diverse individuals.
- Improved gender congruence and wellbeing.
- Reduction of gender dysphoria.
- Safe, medically supervised hormone management.
2. Can I start HRT at Medical Care Barcelona without a prior diagnosis?
3. Do I need to socially transition before starting HRT?
No. You do not need to have socially transitioned before discussing gender-affirming hormone therapy with our medical team.
Every person’s transition is different, and treatment is considered according to your individual circumstances, health, goals, and preferences.
4. Can I have my HRT consultation online?
Yes. Medical Care Barcelona offers online consultations for gender-affirming hormone therapy, including appropriate follow-up and ongoing treatment management.
Whether treatment can be started or managed entirely online will depend on your medical circumstances and whether recent blood tests or an in-person examination are required.
How does the HRT treatment process work?
6. What blood tests are needed before starting HRT?
The tests required depend on the type of hormone therapy and your individual medical history. Your doctor may assess hormone levels, liver function, blood count, metabolic markers, and other relevant health indicators before recommending or adjusting treatment.
7. How do I get blood tests for HRT in Barcelona?
Medical Care Barcelona can help arrange the blood tests required before and during gender-affirming hormone therapy. Testing can be coordinated through our partner laboratories in Barcelona, and the results can be reviewed by our endocrinology team as part of your treatment and monitoring.
8. How often will my HRT treatment be reviewed?
Follow-up frequency depends on your treatment, health, and stage of therapy. Monitoring is generally more frequent when starting or changing HRT and can become less frequent once hormone levels and treatment are stable.
9. How often do I need blood tests on HRT?
10. Can I continue HRT in Barcelona if I started treatment in another country?
11. Can Medical Care Barcelona coordinate with my current HRT provider?
Yes. Where appropriate and with your consent, our doctors can work alongside your existing healthcare provider to support continuity of treatment, blood-test monitoring, and medical follow-up while you are in Barcelona.
12. What happens if I run out of my HRT medication while in Barcelona?
13. What if a pharmacy in Spain does not have my usual HRT medication?
Medication brands and formulations can differ between countries. Our medical team can review your existing treatment and, when appropriate, help identify an equivalent medication or formulation available in Spain.
