This qualitative study explored the impact of penile cancer diagnosis and treatment on intimacy. A convenience sample was identified of 20 potential candidates who were at least 5 months post penile cancer surgery at a hospital centralizing penile cancer care. Participants were recruited by telephone and admitted until data saturation was reached, resulting in a sample of nine men (44-74 years old), none withdrew from participation. All interviews were performed by the same female researcher with no prior relationship to the men. The one-time interviews (35-61 min) followed a semi-structured interview guide, were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Three researchers analysed the data independently using descriptive phenomenological analysis, resulting in a gradually drawn up coding tree mapping out the patient's journey. The central themes that emerged were: (1) Intimate area led to diagnostic delays, intensified diagnosis and induced secrecy; (2) Impact on sexuality prior to surgery; (3) The voyage of sexual re-discovery; (4) A partnered voyage of sexual discovery; (5) Care needs related to intimate area. This study highlights the need for comprehensive and personalized care, including pre-surgical information provision and post-surgical psychosexual support. Addressing the current unmet needs of men with penile cancer requires guidelines for psychosexual interventions and proactive efforts to reduce stigma and to raise awareness.</p>","PeriodicalId":14068,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Impotence Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142464694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A questionnaire was created after identifying themes surrounding experiences with gender-affirming medical care by community focus groups. Respondents who reported medically transitioning and who had undergone GAS were compared to those without prior GAS. From 88 completed surveys, 18 (20.5%) individuals did not wish to undergo GAS. Of those medically transitioning and desiring GAS, 15.2% (9/59) desired GAS but had not received it yet, with 6.7% (6/9) identifying as non-binary. Individuals who had not had GAS were more likely to earn under $15,000 annually, compared to $25,000-49,000 in the GAS group (p = 0.01). There was no significant difference in educational level (p = 0.32) or insurance status (p = 0.33). Of TGD individuals who desire GAS, out-of-pocket expenses such as hair removal, opaque insurance policies, lack of social support, and access to gender-affirming providers can hinder the transition process.
