How does Gynokadin work?
Gynokadin substitutes the lack of oestrogen if the forthcoming symptoms seriously hinder a woman in her daily life. By substituting oestrogen, symptoms as hot face and flushes are alleviated. Some women can also develop fragile bones during the menopause. Gynokadin prevents this from happening.
Another treatment Gynokadin is used for, is transgender therapy. Taking hormones will alter the secondary gender characteristics. These characteristics will become more pronounced which corresponds with the transgender’s gender identity.
