   There will a decreased sex drive, lower sperm count and a halting of male pattern baldness
   There might be some feminization as the body naturally produces estrogen, and the hormone receptors will receive more of your body’s naturally produced estrogen (albeit not much) and any further masculinazation should stop or slow down

   I know that this has to do with transsexualism, but this really is a medical question and should be rerouted to the correct Y!A category so that it may receive appropriate answers. Thank you.

   Or, if you’ll please direct your attention to the answer below this one, *gestures downward motion*, you will find what you’re looking for. Thank you.

   Side effects associated with the use of an anti – androgen include:

   * Constipation or diarrhea
   * Nausea
   * Loss of or decrease in appetite
   * Dizziness or headache
   * Swelling of (gynecomastia) or tenderness in the breasts
   * Trouble sleeping
   * Impotence or decrease in sex drive

   Sexual side effects associated with anti-androgens are usually temporary and less than those associated with medical castration and surgical castration. When anti-androgens are used without LHRH agonists or antagonists, or orchiectomy, libido and potency can usually be maintained. Less common side effects of anti-androgen use include:

   * A bloated feeling accompanied by gas or indigestion
   * Confusion
   * Drowsiness
   * Dryness of mouth
   * Flu-like symptoms (including: headache, muscle and joint pain, tiredness, nausea, and vomiting together)
   * Change in the eyes ability to readjust to changing light levels or the ability to perceive color (associated with nilutamide)

   Other uncommon side effects require immediate medical attention: chest pain, shortness of breath, pain in the upper right abdomen, and yellowing of the eyes and skin.

   I suggest you speak with a doctor.

   Self-medicating is playing Russian Roulette with your health.

   Are you seeing a gender therapist?
