Estrogen injections in a young woman?

Would it be possible for a young woman (not a transsexual) to get some kind of estrogen therapy? The feminine shape, clear skin, and small amount of unwanted hair that comes with high estrogen levels is appealing to me, but the various cancers that come with some therapies are not.





Is there any safe option?

Estrogen injections in a young woman?
Many young women already do; contraceptive pills all contain oestrogen.





If a young woman has a hormonal disorder, PCOS or similar, she can be given oestrogen therapy. It's not usually given by injection, though; it's usually either pills, transdermal patches or gel, or depot implants.


The cancer risks you worry about are small; unless she is taking very large doses without adequate medical supervision, she has no cause to worry.


I'm sure her doctor would have told her all this.





I rather suspect you're not asking this for a young woman; the disclaimer "(not a transsexual)" is a bit of a giveaway....;)
Reply:Young women do not get estrogen therapy ( I am not talking about b/c which has its side effects too) for many reasons


as you mentioned yourself mostly cancer but also endometriosis etc. No doctor would prescribe such a therapy to a young woman if he is a good reliable doctor. Unfortunately all these b/c methods that involve hormones are quite dangerous by themselves and I think most women do not realize it. Its only menopausal women that can get it and its quite safe if they underwent hysterectomy.
