A member asked:

So i'm a trans guy with a congenital heart defect. is it possible i can get put on testosterone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It would be prudent to take care of your heart before taking androgenic hormones. Many congenital defects can be treated without opening the chest. Wish you good health!
