Can a one-page handout ease tough surgery decisions for transmasculine patients?
NCT ID NCT07324967
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving a simple educational handout before surgery helps transmasculine people feel more confident about deciding to keep or remove their ovaries during a gender-affirming hysterectomy. About 250 participants will be randomly assigned to receive the handout or not, and researchers will measure how conflicted they feel about the decision. The goal is to improve shared decision-making, not to change medical outcomes.
