A retrospective review of gender-affirming hormone therapy was conducted in 101 transgender boys followed in the pediatric endocrine clinic. Eighty-seven percent were postmenarchal at the initial visit. Of the 44% prescribed gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs (GnRHas), insurance coverage was denied in 34% and an average of 4.5 months elapsed before treatment could be started in the remainder. Patients prescribed GnRHas were younger than those who were not, 13.7±2.1 versus 15.5±2.0 years, <0.001. Continued menstrual bleeding was reported by patients receiving testosterone alone at doses ranging from 50 to 200 mg every 2 weeks.
对在儿科内分泌诊所随访的101名变性男孩进行了一项关于性别确认激素治疗的回顾性研究。87%的患者在初次就诊时已过月经初潮。在44%开具促性腺激素释放激素类似物(GnRHas)的患者中,34%的保险理赔被拒绝,其余患者平均经过4.5个月才开始治疗。开具GnRHas的患者比未开具的患者年龄更小,分别为13.7±2.1岁和15.5±2.0岁,P<0.001。接受每2周50至200毫克睾酮单药治疗的患者报告有持续月经出血。
