The available literature does not provide any questionnaire to evaluate sexual function after male to female (MtF) gender reassignment surgery (GRS). The assessment of sexual function in these patients is routinely performed by using tools designed for biological women, such as Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Such a limit leads to a suboptimal evaluation, especially in domains like lubrication and dyspareunia. Moreover, FSFI scores in MtF patients often are similar to those observed in non-transsexual women with sexual dysfunction. We aim at developing validate new questionnaire, the operated Male to Female Sexual Function Index (oMtFSFI) in order to assess sexual function in patients who underwent MtF GRS.

Abstract

The available literature does not provide any questionnaire to evaluate sexual function after male to female (MtF) gender reassignment surgery (GRS). The assessment of sexual function in these patients is routinely performed by using tools designed for biological women, such as Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Such a limit leads to a suboptimal evaluation, especially in domains like lubrication and dyspareunia. Moreover, FSFI scores in MtF patients often are similar to those observed in non-transsexual women with sexual dysfunction. We aim at developing validate new questionnaire, the operated Male to Female Sexual Function Index (oMtFSFI) in order to assess sexual function in patients who underwent MtF GRS.
