Endocrine Therapy of Adult Gender-Incongruent Individuals Seeking Gender Reaffirmation
Autoren
Abstract
Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is integral to the management of gender-incongruent (GI) individuals. GAHT greatly improves the quality of life for GI individuals. Current research about outcomes of GAHT and adverse events in adults receiving GAHT is limited in India and large cohort studies are absent. This document on medical management provides protocols for the prescribing clinician relating to counseling for GAHT, baseline evaluation, choice of therapy, targets for hormone therapy, clinical and biochemical monitoring, and perioperative hormone therapy.
