Transgender health care includes the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of physical and mental health conditions which affect transgender individuals. A major component of transgender health care is gender-affirming care, the medical aspect of gender transition. Questions implicated in transgender health care include gender variance, sex reassignment therapy, health risks, and access to healthcare for trans people in different countries around the world. Gender-affirming health care can include psychological, medical, physical, and social behavioral care. The purpose of gender-affirming care is to help a transgender individual conform to their desired gender identity.
