Arterial Hypertension as a Complication of Triptorelin Treatment in Adolescents with Gender Dysphoria

چکیده
Adolescents with gender dysphoria experience incongruence between their assigned and their experienced gende [1]. Gender reassignment therapy aims to achieve transition to the desired gender and includes psychological, hormonal and surgical interventions. Puberty can be suspended using gonadotropin releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa) thus preventing development in the direction of the natal gender and gaining time to explore the patient’s wish for later gender reassignment. Subsequently, hormones of the desired sex – cross-sex hormones (CSH) are added. Natal girls with gender dysphoria (so-called transboys) receive testosterone. Finally, during sex-reassignment surgery the gonads are removed and GnRHa therapy is discontinued [2].
