Patient reports of motivations and preparation for penile prosthesis among transgender individuals
This study uncovers important aspects of transgender patients' journeys leading up to penile prosthesis procedures. Findings suggest that enhancing patient education and decision aids could improve the decision-making process for patients considering the procedure. This study underscores the importance of understanding and addressing the unique needs of transgender patients in gender-affirming care, and learning from them could help healthcare practitioners better support transgender individuals in their medical and penile prosthesis decision-making processes.
