Sexual health is pivotal to the overall health and well-being of individuals. To date, transgender persons' sexual function results to be poorly investigated. Gender affirming medical and/or surgical treatments (GAMSTs) in transgender assigned female at birth (t-AFAB) can have an impact on overall quality of life and subsequently on sexual life. Before GAMSTs, literature shows a low sexual wellbeing of t-AFAB due to a complex interaction of organic and psychological factors. During gender affirming hormone therapy, testosterone treatments induce virilization that results in a better sexual satisfaction, in particular for sexual desire, arousal and orgasm. The majority of the available literature reports an increased sexual quality of life among t-AFAB after gender affirming surgery. Nevertheless, the different surgical techniques, the possible post-operative complications and sexual pain can negatively influence sexual function. Thus, this narrative review aims to summarize the available data about modifications on sexual health status in t-AFAB before and after GAMSTs. In transgender population, dealing with the evaluation of sexual life and satisfaction represents a relevant topic with a view to promote and sustain not only sexual wellbeing but especially general quality of life.
