Cryopreservation after long-term testosterone therapy in the trans-male patient

Abstract

Introduction: In an era of a growing transgender population with earlier intervention of hormonal therapy, there is little scientific literature describing effects of prolonged exogenous administration of testosterone on fertility. It is now more important than ever to understand the reproductive health needs of transgender patients and the potential long term effects of hormone therapy on fertility. The following case report demonstrates the fertility preservation potential in a trans-male patient after eight years of testosterone therapy.
