, Kittipat Charoenkwan, MD, MSc a, Vin Tangpricha, MD, PhD b, cRésumé |
Transgender people may choose to affirm their gender identity with gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) and/or gender-affirming surgery (GAS). The effects of GAHT and GAS on sexual health in transgender people have not been well elucidated. This systematic review aimed to appraise the current scientific literature regarding sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, pain, and satisfaction in transmen and transwomen before, during, and after gender transition. Overall, sexual dysfunction is common in both transmen and transwomen. GAHT and GAS may help to improve sexual satisfaction. More studies that focus on sexual health in the transgender population are urgently needed.
