No need to stop oestrogen before gender-affirming surgery: study
Transfeminine patients remaining on the hormone do not appear to be at greater risk of VTE, authors report

US researchers examined VTE risk associated with suspending versus continuing oestrogen therapy in the perioperative period for gender-affirming surgeries.
