At Ebisu TG Clinic, we offer hormone therapy for individuals experiencing gender dysphoria (MTF, FTM) or male menopause. Our services are available both to those who have undergone treatment in their home countries and to those seeking treatment for the first time.
Unlike some other clinics, Ebisu TG Clinic does not deny treatment or cause any inconvenience simply because you are a foreign national. Please feel at ease when receiving care.
Additionally, our director, Dr. Saegusa, understands English, so you can feel comfortable during your visit. For more details on Dr. Saegusa’s profile, please refer to this link.
Services offered at our clinic: hormone therapy, blood tests, etc.
At our clinic, patients can receive their first consultation online.
After the online consultation, eligible patients may begin treatment through self-injection under medical guidance.
Prescribed medications can be purchased through the patient portal (“My Page”), which becomes accessible after the first consultation.
Medications can be delivered to a designated address, generally within Japan.

FAQ
1. Starting Hormone Therapy
Q. Can I start hormone therapy immediately?
A.
If you are already receiving hormone therapy in your home country, you can usually continue treatment without any major delay.
However, please note that medications available in Japan may differ from those used overseas. In such cases, our physician will propose medications with equivalent pharmacological effects, and may adjust the dosage or administration schedule as appropriate.
Occasionally, we encounter treatment regimens that are medically unusual or not evidence-based. In those situations, we will carefully explain the concerns and suggest a safer, medically appropriate alternative.
If you are starting hormone therapy for the first time, we will support you so that you can begin treatment smoothly. During the initial consultation (online consultation is also available), we will review your medical history, discuss your goals, explain potential risks, and initiate the most appropriate treatment.
