ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how genital gender affirming surgery affects genital sensitivity and sexual function in individuals with gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is the distress someone may feel when their gender identity does not match their assigned sex at birth. The goal of the trial is to understand what patients can expect in terms of sensitivity and sexual functioning after they undergo this type of surgery.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must be at least 18 years old, identify as transgender or gender non-conforming, and wish to have genital gender affirming surgery. They should also be in good health and able to attend follow-up appointments after the surgery. Participants in the trial can expect to provide feedback on their experiences, which will help researchers better understand the outcomes of this surgery. It’s important to know that the study is currently recruiting, so there are opportunities for eligible individuals to get involved.
