Hormones and their Structural and Functional Effects on the Brain: How Can We Change our Practice Moving Forward?

The objectives of this paper are to: 1) Enhance understanding of the uncertainties in the decision-making process regarding hormonal interventions to treat patients with DSD. 2) Recognize that the effects of hormonal interventions might require a consent process similar to that applied for surgical procedures. 3) Emphasize the need to establish treatment algorithms that could form the basis of a standard of care for this patient population.
