If an afab person were to go on hormone blockers before puberty, start T at 18, and stay on T until they’re past the age at which they would have gone through menopause (I know it varies but this is hypothetical), if at that point they went off T, would they have any breast development, or would their body be past the point of producing enough hormones for that? That 17 y/o anon wondering about the puberty blockers again; are there any long term effects? What happens when I stop-- would I resume puberty? Even if I'm (possibly) past the end of puberty? Does it decrease bone density? I don't plan to go on T, and I'm agender but I'd rather just, pause my puberty for the time being because I'm pretty happy where I am now. (Though... (Tmi-ish) in the last few months I've noticed my butt is... bigger? And would def not like that to continue lmao) thanks!! Grouping all these blocker asks together to answer similar questions at once:No medicine at all is “100% safe” But in the realm of treatments, delaying puberty with blockers temporarily is low risk and high return.  The goal of delaying puberty is to hit the pause button to give the person time to determine what “direction” puberty should go in (either the one the body naturally wants to go toward, or a different one, directed by adding other hormones).   

The major risk of puberty blockers being used short-term (several months to several years) in this way is osteoporosis and short adult height (does not reverse when hormones are started/blockers stopped).  The current guidelines recommend the blockers are started before puberty starts and continued for as short a time as possible to give the person certainty of the direction their puberty should progress.  Blockers alone are not meant to be a long-term medication and are not safe for use in this way.  If someone were to use blockers before puberty, remain on T until menopause, and then go off T, there would be no expectation of breast development, however, if they still have ovaries, they may have some minor estrogen-related changes when stopping T completely (because the T levels drop from cis-male range, even if the estrogen levels are also lower than pre-menopause levels).  This would not be too far out of line with the way the body softens with a cis-male in the later ages (and many cis-men develop softening and fat redistribution at andropause, so it wouldn’t be too atypical or give specific cause for being clocked as transgenderAs far as remaining on puberty blockers long term, we don’t have studies that show it’s safe to do this, but we do have indications that suggest there are risks for remaining on them longer than necessary.  you may not be able to find a doctor willing to write for an ongoing (long term) scrip for use in this way.  When you stop, as long as you still have body parts that produce hormones, they would resume making them.

Crescere che fatica! I primi segni di uno sviluppo morfologico ed endocrino

Caratteristiche Generali

Il processo di crescita dell’organismo umano deve essere visto come un evento coordinato ed articolato che coinvolge diversi sistemi ed organi. Quando si parla di pubertà ci si riferisce al passaggio dalla fanciullezza allo stato adulto, il tutto è condizionato dall’acquisizione della funzione gonadica e del suo controllo ipotalamo ipofisario. Dunque lo sviluppo…
