Transgender Medicine is an essential resource that delves deep into the comprehensive medical care of transgender individuals. While transgender persons have been a part of various societies throughout history, it’s in recent years that their presence has been widely recognized, and their right to quality medical care established. This academic volume addresses the critical need for extensive literature in the field, particularly in the United States, where endocrinologists have offered hormonal therapy for decades.
This book not only covers the latest advancements in hormonal therapy for transgender individuals, including both pediatric and geriatric care, but also explores other crucial aspects of transgender health. Readers will gain insights into primary and surgical care, fertility preservation, and the management of HIV infection. Beyond medical topics, the book tackles the psychological, social, ethical, and legal challenges that impact the successful treatment of transgender patients.
What makes Transgender Medicine special? It serves as a single, comprehensive resource for endocrinologists, providing guidance that extends beyond endocrine care. A final chapter offers extensive resources for both transgender patients and healthcare providers, ensuring this volume is a valuable tool for all involved in transgender care.
Though primarily aimed at endocrinologists, this book is an invaluable asset for primary care physicians, surgeons performing gender-confirming procedures, mental health professionals, and medical students and residents. Enhance your understanding and ability to provide holistic care with Transgender Medicine.
