摘要

Although comprehensive and interdisciplinary medical care for transgender individuals is essential, specialized healthcare services and education during medical training in this field remain limited. This pilot study aimed to assess the current knowledge among gynecologists regarding transgender medicine and to determine their interest in further professional training. In an anonymous online survey conducted during a general gynecological training event, only about half of the participants reported feeling adequately informed about the medical management of transgender patients, while the majority expressed a desire for additional educational opportunities on this topic. Following a dedicated training session on transgender healthcare, most respondents demonstrated a more positive attitude towards the treatment of transgender individuals and reported an improved understanding of therapeutic options, including fertility aspects. These findings indicate that medical knowledge on transgender healthcare remains insufficient, and targeted educational interventions can enhance both knowledge and attitudes about healthcare for transgender people among healthcare professionals.
