Urinary incontinence may occur in transgender individuals after gender-affirming surgery. Urogenital/urological surgery for transgender patients is a specialized surgical subspecialty that focuses on addressing urinary and reproductive system-related concerns of transgender individuals. This type of surgery can include various procedures such as vaginoplasty, phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, orchiectomy, penectomy, and urethroplasty. The goal of urogenital/urological surgery for transgender patients is to alleviate gender dysphoria, a condition where individuals experience distress due to a mismatch between their gender identity and their assigned sex at birth.
