We describe the first case of a 25-year-old patient with gender identity disorder (GID) who underwent cryopreservation of sperm prior to male-to-female (MTF) sex reassignment surgery in Japan. The patient wanted to freeze sperm to keep open the option of conceiving a child in the future. The ethics committee of our institution discussed the case and officially approved cryopreservation of sperm before sex reassignment surgery. Compared with foreign countries, sperm cryopreservation of GID is not recognized and guidelines have yet been published in Japan. Here, we report sperm cryopreservation for MTF before sex reassignment surgery.
我们描述了日本首例患有性别认同障碍（GID）的25岁患者，该患者在接受男变女（MTF）性别重置手术前进行了精子冷冻保存。患者希望冷冻精子，以便保留未来生育孩子的可能性。我们机构的伦理委员会讨论了该病例，并正式批准在性别重置手术前进行精子冷冻保存。与国外相比，日本尚未认可对GID患者进行精子冷冻保存，相关指南也尚未发布。在此，我们报告了在性别重置手术前对MTF患者进行精子冷冻保存的情况。
