Mike to Michaela: male‐to‐female genital reconstruction

Abstract

With referrals to gender identity clinics doubling over the last five years and an increasing number of people coming forward for treatment, both primary and secondary care doctors are likely to encounter transgender people in their clinical practice. In this article, Tina Rashid discusses gender dysphoria and male‐to‐female genital reconstruction.

We aim to clearly summarise some of the important considerations relevant to providing the optimal hormonal milieu for people to commence and maintain their physical transition.…”
