Summary

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in new cases of children and adolescents with gender incongruence. Most of them are aged 15-17. Many individuals seek endocrine care on the recommendation of a sexologist. The cause of the rising trend is not entirely clear, some attitudes to the proposed procedures also differ. This overview article summarizes current approaches and opinions on the care of children and adolescents with gender incongruence, and also presents the current situation in the Czech Republic.

Keywords:

adolescence – gender incongruence – current opinions – therapeutic approaches
