The Sexual Goals of Metoidioplasty Patients and Their Attitudes Toward Using PDE5 Inhibitors and Intracavernosal Injections as Erectile Aids.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Following metoidioplasty, transmen (TM) experience sexual function challenges including erectile dysfunction, which is typically treated in cisgender men with phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5i) and intracavernosal injections (ICI).

Aim

We aim to evaluate sexual function post-metoidioplasty and explore attitudes toward using PDE5i and ICI as potential erectile aids METHODS: All patients who had metoidioplasty completed at the Gender Surgery Program in Vancouver, British Columbia were contacted. Participants completed an electronically accessible self-constructed questionnaire consisting of 39 items on erectile function, orgasm, and penetrative intercourse which also captured Erection Hardness Scores (EHS). Data were analyzed via t-test and 1-way ANOVA.
