“…The Guidelines (Gravholt, Andersen, et al, , section 2.5) recommend confirming ovarian dysfunction, and starting estrogen replacement between 11 and 12 years of age in order to promote normal growth and psychosocial development. Low doses of estradiol are initiated and titrated to promote secondary sexual characteristics and uterine growth without early closure of the growth plates, ensure a normal tempo of bone mineralization (Cleemann et al, ), normalize cognitive maturation (Ross, Roeltgen, Feuillan, Kushner, & Cutler Jr., ; Ross, Roeltgen, Feuillan, Kushner, & Cutler Jr., ), body composition (Cleemann et al, ), reduce lipids (Gravholt, Naeraa, et al, ) and liver enzymes (Koulouri, Ostberg, & Conway, ) and reduce cardiovascular risk in the long term (Gravholt, Naeraa, et al, ; Ostberg et al, ). Transdermal estradiol is the preferred method for estrogen administration (Gravholt, Andersen, et al, , section 6.1; Klein et al, ), but oral estradiol can also be used.…”
