What this trial studies

This observational study aims to analyze the factors influencing fertility preservation decisions among transgender patients at the University Regional Hospital Center in Nancy. By comparing profiles of patients who choose to undergo fertility preservation with those who do not, the study seeks to identify significant determinants affecting these choices. The research is retrospective and utilizes existing data collected during routine consultations related to the transition process. The goal is to enhance support for transgender patients considering parenthood by establishing a comprehensive database of their experiences and preferences.
