Is there an association between pelvic pain and gender-affirming testosterone therapy in trans masculine adolescents? An exploratory cross-sectional study
Pelvic pain is frequently reported by trans adolescents. This exploratory study found a lower proportion of pelvic pain in trans adolescents using testosterone therapy compared to those who were not. Nevertheless, this study was limited by a small number of participants, its cross-sectional nature, and the risk of recruitment bias, thus limiting its generalizability. Longitudinal studies are required to better understand the development and evolution of pelvic pain in trans adolescents.
