| Popis: | Purpose of review Over the last few years, awareness and visibility of transgender individuals have exponentially grown. With this growth comes the need for medical providers who understand the unique needs of this population. The present review serves to help obstetrician-gynecologists recognize their important role in the care of these patients. Recent findings Although long-term data are still lacking in the medical care of individuals with gender dysphoria, standards of care for the medical treatment of transgender patients and long-term screening recommendations in the primary care setting were discussed. Summary Given their surgical expertise and experience with hormone management, obstetrician-gynecologists are in a unique position to provide quality healthcare in this population. |
