Cyproterone acetate and a small dose of oestrogen in the pre-operative management of male transsexuals. A report of three cases.
The pre-operative treatment of three adult male transsexuals with the anti-androgen and progestogenic compound cyproterone acetate is reported. When used in combination with cyproterone acetate, only a very small dose of oestrogen is needed to induce feminisation. The effect of this treatment on both testicular and epididymal function is described.
