In this article, the authors reviewed essential terminology and recommendations for creating a welcoming healthcare environment for transgender patients and providing gender-affirming therapy, emphasizing the unique health needs and disparities faced by this population.

In this study, elevated prolactin and DHEA-S levels along with reduced SBP were observed in fertile non-obese women with moderate body hair compared to controls, and ethynylestradiol plus desogestrel or cyproterone acetate treatment improved clinical outcomes by increasing SBP.

Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.

The article concludes that hormonal therapy is an effective long-term acne treatment, even for those without hormonal imbalances.

This review discusses the influence of menopausal status on hair parameters in women without alopecia, finding significant differences in hair growth rate, percentage anagen, and hair diameter distributions, particularly in the frontal scalp.

In this study, gender-affirming hormonal treatment was associated with increased hair growth, acne, and alopecia prevalence in transgender individuals assigned female at birth, while opposite dermatological changes were observed in those assigned male at birth.

Testosterone replacement can help menopausal women with various symptoms, but should be used carefully and is not yet officially licensed in the UK for women.

This study concluded that combined hormonal contraceptives containing desogestrel, drospirenone, or cyproterone acetate were associated with a higher risk of venous thromboembolism compared to those containing levonorgestrel.

This review discusses the increased risk of venous thromboembolism associated with combined hormonal contraceptives, particularly noting higher risks with certain progestins like desogestrel, gestodene, and cyproterone acetate, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that administering testosterone to ovariectomized female rats decreased endometrial tight junction complexity and expression of specific proteins, potentially affecting embryo implantation.

The study concluded that serum AMH is a useful tool for diagnosing polycystic ovarian morphology in women with persistent acne, potentially replacing transvaginal ultrasound, though it does not correlate with hyperandrogenemia.

This study suggests that alterations in copper metabolism may play a key role in the development of androgenetic alopecia in women, presenting potential targets for treatment strategies.

The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.

This review discusses the role of sex hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, in melasma pathogenesis and suggests that progesterone in oral contraceptives may help prevent melasma by regulating melanocyte proliferation.

This article reviews the use of cross-sex hormonal therapy in transmen and reports that it is reasonably safe, suggesting monitoring should be frequent initially but can be less frequent over time.

This study found that in men with androgenetic alopecia, elevated triglycerides were the only factor consistently associated with the condition, suggesting a potential link between AGA and lipid metabolism, although other hormonal, metabolic, and sleep factors were not significantly different after propensity score matching.

In this study, male patients treated with 150 mCi of radioactive iodine showed no negative impact on fertility, but long-term studies with larger groups are needed to further assess hormonal effects and sperm health after this treatment.

This study found that finasteride effectively reduced hirsutism in women during 12 months of treatment, with some effects persisting in the majority after stopping the medication.

This study found that hypothyroidism in women with PCOS significantly increased insulin resistance and obesity, which might worsen metabolic issues and impact conditions like hair loss and infertility.

This study observed a significant association between smoking and an increased risk of hair loss, including male pattern baldness, and highlights the need for interventions at individual, community, and national levels to address smoking-related hair loss.

This article reviews the potential neuroprotective effects of 17α‐estradiol in neurodegenerative diseases and highlights its possibly lower toxicity compared to more feminizing hormones, but it reports no new clinical findings.

The researchers suggest that testosterone levels might influence COVID-19 susceptibility and severity, with low levels potentially protecting against infection but possibly worsening severe disease due to cytokine storm activation.

In this study, women with lichen planopilaris were found to have high rates of thyroid disease, depression, and anxiety, and about half experienced slowed or stabilized disease progression with treatment.

This article reviews dermatological problems associated with estrogen deficiency in menopausal women and highlights the importance of dermatologist and gynecologist collaboration, but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines androgen replacement therapy in women for treating androgen deficiency symptoms and reports no new clinical results, while noting potential safety within a specific dose range.

This review discusses the effects of oestrogen on skin ageing and highlights the need for large-scale clinical trials to evaluate postmenopausal oestrogen use, reporting no new findings.

This review examines the impact of spontaneous premature ovarian insufficiency on women's sexual function and highlights the need for a comprehensive, biopsychosocial approach to management, but presents no new clinical results.

Testosterone therapy aims to treat hormone deficiencies and various conditions safely and effectively, but requires careful patient monitoring due to potential side effects.

This study found that testosterone administration reduced the expression of uterine receptivity molecules in ovariectomized rats, which may negatively affect early pregnancy establishment and female fertility.

This article discusses the role of estrogens in skin aging and reports no new findings; it highlights the potential of selective ER modulators to improve skin health without systemic side effects.
