Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: We studied the pretreatment hormone profile and ovarian ultrasound appearance of female-to-male transsexuals.
DESIGN: Female-to-male transsexuals who were seen in the local Gender Identity Clinic were examined after psychiatric assessment.
RESULTS: Sixteen patients were assessed. Approximately 50% had symptoms and signs of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and 15 had a pelvic ultrasound diagnosis of polycystic ovaries. The endocrine profiles of the patients were not markedly abnormal and were compatible with the diagnosis of PCOS.
CONCLUSIONS: Polycystic ovaries and the polycystic ovary syndrome are a common finding in female-to-male transsexuals who have had no previous exposure to exogenous androgen therapy.
