Transgender Care Q & A

What is transgender care?

Transgender care refers to health care for transgender patients. Transgender patients are people who were assigned a gender or sex at birth that differs from their gender identity or gender expression.

Transgender care can involve several treatments or services. Some transgender people seek professional medical assistance to transition from one sex to another. For example, transgender men have unique health care needs that can only specialists like those at Southwest Family Medicine Associates can properly address. Many transgender men who are born female at birth still have female organs and need the same care as many women for specific women’s health issues.

Transgender patients can benefit from checkups, screenings, STD testing, and other preventive care methods. They also often choose hormone therapy to assist in the transition process and feminize or masculinize the body.
