Gender-Affirming Testosterone Treatment and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between gender-affirming testosterone therapy and the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in transgender men and transmasculine individuals. Their findings indicate that those receiving testosterone therapy reported significantly less severe LUTS compared to those not on treatment, suggesting a potential benefit of testosterone in alleviating these symptoms. Further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms of this association.
