Abstract
Gender dysphoria, or the incongruence between gender identification and sex assigned at birth with associated discomfort or distress, manifests in transgender patients, whose multifaceted care includes puberty suppression, cross-sex hormonal therapy, and gender-affirming surgery. Discussion of fertility preservation (FP) is paramount because many treatments compromise future fertility, and although transgender patients demonstrate desire for children, use of FP remains low for a plethora of reasons. In transgender women, established FP options include ejaculated sperm cryopreservation, electroejaculation, or testicular sperm extraction. Further research is needed regarding reproductive health and FP in transgender patients.
