To avoid the adverse effects and prohibitive cost of gonadotropin releasing hormone analogues, this study utilized …

Survey of HBIGDA Membership on Treatment of Disorders of Sex Development (DSD)

The majority of these 93 had seen just a few such individuals but ten HBIGDA members had seen 10 + in the previous two years. Fifteen members were on gender teams that man…

With the growing number of transsexual treatment centers, it seemed timely to survey these programs and attempt to determine if a standard hormonal treatment regimen exists. Twenty centers for transsexual treatment responded to a survey concerning t…
