Transmasculine Health

Meaning

Transmasculine health encompasses the specific medical, psychological, and social considerations for individuals assigned female at birth who identify along the masculine spectrum, including those who are transgender men or non-binary masculine individuals. This specialized field focuses on comprehensive, affirming care, which often involves gender-affirming hormone therapy with testosterone to induce masculinizing changes and address related health monitoring. Clinical care also includes screening and management of original and induced health risks across the lifespan.
