ABSTRACT
Gender is determined at fertilization. However, gender mentally decision is another issue. Transgender is a familiar word in general populations, but the definition of transgender and exact managements are not familiar to physicians including gynecologists. Transgender is not well received for health care benefits, because primary care about the transgender is not known to the physicians. Transgender is hidden in the social health care system, Transgender individuals wish to be assisted to feminize or masculinize their bodies including gestures, facial expression etc. Primary health care for transgender diversely includes psychological, medical, and surgical treatments. Basic management of transgender is hormonal therapy, thus we should guide the management for appropriate hormone therapies. Our review article provides guidelines for the gynecologist to assist and to help the transgender for primary care.
