Abstract:

Promoting sexual and reproductive health in the context of transmasculinity represents a new issue for the organization of health services. This integrative review aims to understand the current evidence on pregnancy in transgender men in the context of sexual and reproductive health care. Searching the databases BVS, PubMed, Science Direct, Scoppus, Capes, Scielo e PEPISC,2010 to 2020, a sample of 11 articles was ed, submitted to content analysis, and grouped into four categories of analysis: health services - challenges; health services - cis heteronormative; implications of pregnancy on transsexual bodies; repercussions of gender affirmation therapy and pregnancy. There was a predominance of cis heteronormative logic in health care, which led to negative experiences during prenatal care and childbirth among transgender men. They have unique health needs during the pregnancy-puerperium cycle, which should include mental health care. t is suggested that professional qualification strategies be adopted with a view to inclusive and respectful perinatal care for this population group, as well as further studies on the subject.
