    medications that delay the physical changes of puberty

    Puberty blockers, also known as puberty inhibitors or hormone blockers, are medications that delay the physical changes associated with puberty. They work by suppressing the release of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, which can be particularly beneficial for transgender and non-binary youth who need more time to explore their gender identity before undergoing irreversible physical changes. These medications are also used in cases of precocious puberty to prevent early onset of puberty.
