Background: Progestins such as lynestrenol (L) can be used in female to male (FtM) adolescents with gender dysphoria (GD) who have advanced pubertal development to reduce the psychological burden of menstruation. L can later be combined with cross-sex hormones (testosterone esters) (L+T). L is much cheaper and easier to administer than GnRHa. To date, few data exist on the (side) effects of progestins for this indication.Objective and hypotheses: To repo...

Background: Male to female (MtF) gender dysphoric adolescents with advanced pubertal development can be treated with antiandrogenic progestins such as cyproterone acetate (CA). CA is much cheaper and easier to administer than GnRHa and can later be combined with cross-sex hormones (17β-estradiol) (CA+E). To date, few data exist on the (side) effects of progestins for this indication.Objective and hypotheses: To report the effects of consecutive CA a...
