ABSTRACT

Gender dysphoria refers to distress or discomfort caused by the incongruence between a person’s sex assigned at birth and the gender a person identifies him or herself with (Coleman et al., 2012). Treatment options to facilitate the social gender role transition and to live in accordance with the gender experienced comprises both hormone therapy and/or surgical interventions (Coleman et al., 2012). Unfortunately, both these options have a negative effect on fertility (Coleman et al., 2012; T’Sjoen et al., 2013). Health care professionals should address the consequences for future fertility with their patients before treatments have started.
