Overview
This service cares for trans and gender-diverse people. We offer care for health problems relating to the genitals. This care is usually provided in coordination with local doctors and clinicians external to Mercy Health.
Referral is from your local doctor to the Plenty unit.

Team Composition
Throughout your experience, you may be supported by a:
- nurse
- doctor (gynaecologist)
- physiotherapist.
For health professionals
The gynaecologists in our team provide care to trans men and trans women. The primary gender-affirming surgery for trans women is not undertaken by this team; we focus on follow-up issues and problems.
The team is happy to discuss hysterectomies with trans men, preferably after the necessary consultations according to World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) guidelines have occurred.
