Importance of gender affirming treatment in Mexico: an urgent necessity

Abstract

The identity of gender in transgender people calls for integrated, multidisciplinary care. In Mexico, about 316,192 transgender individuals may require specialized medical attention. Gender-affirming treatment brings together hormonal therapy and surgical options, with the urologist serving as a key member of a coordinated team of specialists. Research supports that this approach is safe and effective when provided by a multidisciplinary group and followed over the long term, improving both physical health and overall quality of life for patients.
