The Effects of Testosterone on Cervicovaginal Cytology in Transgender and Gender-Diverse Individuals
Findings confirmed an association between testosterone usage and cytology specimen adequacy and quality. No association was found between testosterone usage and rates of abnormal results within our TGD population. More research is needed to disentangle the effect of missing TZ on risk of future cervical dysplasia among this younger population.
