Title: Hormones and hip bone size
Post by: Marquis on October 27, 2014, 10:41:54 PM
Hello everyone, I'm 21 years old and I would like to know if I start taking female hormones my hips will grow and get new shape. I'm talking about the bone, not the fat tissue around it.

Thanks for your attention.   :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Nope, sorry, just fat distribution.

Bones stop growing around age 24/25 usually. Starting HRT around age 20 has shown some cases where the hips widened very slightly. So it is possible though it is rare, birth genetics decide many things. But by far the biggest change is weight distribution from the torso to the hip region.

I very much doubt that any changes in hip bone widening will occur.
