Histological changes in the genital tract in transsexual women following androgen therapy

Abstract

Thirty-two young women who desired sexual reassignment were treated with large doses of androgen for a period of 1 year or more, followed by total hysterectomy. Histological examination revealed marked atrophy of cervical epithelium which could mimic dysplasia, and variable degrees of endometrial atrophy. The ovaries showed occasional corpora lutea indicating that even in the face of long term androgen therapy, ovulation may occur.
