NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) said the decision came with the support of Scotland's chief medical officer, Professor Sir Gregor Smith, following a review by Dr Hilary Cass in England and the same decision being taken south of the border.
Two Scottish health boards - one of which covers the only gender clinic in the country for young people - have paused the prescription of puberty blockers to new patients.
Dr Emilia Crighton, director of public health at NHSGGC, said: "The findings informing the Cass Review are important and we have reviewed the impact on our clinical pathways. "We understand the distress that gender incongruence can cause and while all referrals to endocrinology are paused, we will continue to give anyone who is referred into the young people gender service the psychological support that they require while we review the pathways in line with the findings."
Tracey Gillies, executive medical director at NHS Lothian, said: "The Cass Review is a significant piece of work into how the NHS can better support children and young people who present with gender dysphoria."
