Can a transgender male have a period?

Men who are transgenders assigned female at birth still possess uterus, and consequently continue to menstruate as normal. Hormone therapy commonly used in the gender transition brings about a significant decrease or cessation of menstrual bleeding. In order to get personalized advice regarding the management of menstrual health for those going through gender transition, a specialist in transgender medicine or endocrinology needs to be consulted.

Yes, transgender men can get a period.
- This situation occurs when a man's gender identity conflicts with the physical characteristics of his body.
- He may have even modified his social role and appearance to reflect his male identity, but if he still possesses his natural female reproductive organs, he will still experience periods.
