Psychotherapy is recommended before the administration of the drug triptorelin.
GD is the mismatch between gender identity and the sex assigned at birth.
Triptorelin is sometimes used to delay puberty in patients with GD to give them time to gain awareness of their gender identity and prepare for the psychological, medical, developmental, social and legal issues that may lie ahead of them.
Last Wednesday, the government sent inspectors to the Careggi to “check whether the regulations have been followed,” said Health Minister Orazio Schillaci.
“It is absolutely not a punitive gesture,” he added.
Mara Campitiello, the head of the minister’s technical secretariat, told ANSA at the time that Schillaci would receive the inspectors’ report within 15 days.
