Abstract: Increasing numbers of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth are presenting for medical care, including seeking more information and access to services from gynecologic and reproductive health experts. Such experts are well positioned to provide affirming, comprehensive services, including education, hormonal interventions, menstrual management, contraception, and various gynecological procedures. Early medical guidance and support for the TGD community has been associated with long-term positive emotional and physical health outcomes. In this article medical interventions that reproductive health experts can offer to their TGD patients are discussed.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 North American Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology.
