Acute Cystitis in a Transfeminine Patient: Assessment and Treatment of Urinary Tract Symptoms

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Management of acute cystitis in a transfeminine patient is discussed as an example of treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs). The case is an introduction for clinicians who typically care for cisgender women and wish to expand the populations they serve to include care of gender-diverse individuals. This is supportive of the 2021 American College of Nurse-Midwives Position Statement on Health Care for Transgender and Gender Non-Binary People. Possible differential diagnoses for urinary symptoms in transfeminine patients are discussed, as well as relevant history taking, examination skills, and treatment guidelines for acute cystitis of patients with penises along with discussion of basic care for transgender individuals seeking midwifery or primary care services.
