We conducted a review of literature to examine the experiences of transgender men (transmen) seeking pregnancy care. Our review revealed that transmen and cisgender persons desire pregnancy at similar rates; however, transmen experience discrimination from health care systems and providers. Additionally, pregnant transmen may experience unique psychological needs and require support for postpartum contraception and lactation. Based on a synthesis of the available literature, we offer strategies for providing inclusive care for birthing transmen and resources for further professional development related to transgender health issues.
我们对文献进行了回顾,以研究寻求妊娠护理的跨性别男性(跨男)的经历。我们的综述表明,跨男和顺性别者的怀孕意愿相似;但是,跨男在医疗保健系统和提供者中受到歧视。此外,怀孕的跨男可能有独特的心理需求,需要支持产后避孕和哺乳。基于现有文献的综合分析,我们为提供给分娩跨男的包容护理提供了策略,并为与跨性别健康问题相关的进一步专业发展提供了资源。
