Management of juvenile gender dysphoria
1Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, New York, USA.
Purpose Of Review:
To describe the treatment of gender dysphoria in adolescents.
Recent Findings:
Careful study and evaluation of children with persistent severe gender dysphoria has led to the recommendation that puberty be suppressed at Tanner Stage II. If the dysphoria persists until age 16, treatment with sex steroids of the appropriate gender may begin at age 16 and be followed by gender-appropriate surgery.
Summary:
Protocols and results of treatment of early adolescents have demonstrated that the harmful effects of persistent gender dysphoria can be prevented. Pubertal suppression in early puberty not only prevents the severe distress, but also allows healthy adolescent development living in the appropriate gender.
