摘要
Primary care providers should have a general understanding of the medical care available to transgender youth throughout childhood and adolescence. Providers and parents should create an affirming environment for young people at every developmental stage, while ensuring thorough and thoughtful evaluations prior to any medical intervention.Transgender teens have unique reproductive health care needs.Transgender boys may seek suppression of menses, and they will need to pay particular attention to pregnancy prevention if they decide to undergo masculinizing hormonal treatment.Transgender girls who undergo feminizing hormonal treatment will also see profound changes to their reproductive and sexual function. Providers should feel comfortable getting detailed sexual histories to properly counsel on and test for sexually transmitted infections. Finally,the effects of medical and surgical transition on a young person's potential for future fertility is a profoundly important concept for both the teen and their parents to understand.
