Medroxyprogesterone Acetate in Gender-Affirming Therapy for Transwomen: Results From a Retrospective Study.
This is the first study aiming to investigate the side effects of medroxyprogesterone in the transgender population. The side effects which were self-reported by the population included improved breast development, decreased facial hair, and mood swings. The testing of hormone levels indicated no change in estrogen, yet a decrease in testosterone.
The Transgender medical papers page is a thorough compendium of up-to-date trans-specific research with a high quality of evidence, as well as guides on ways to access them or find more.
