Abstract

Objective: To identify the scientific production on health care for transgender men during the pregnancy-puerperal cycle. Method: An integrative literature review was carried out, in April 2022, in the following databases: Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed Central, Embase and Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences, without delimitation of time interval for research. Results: After applying the eligibility criteria, nine articles were included in the final sample. Most of the studies were published in 2020 (22.2%) and 2015 (22.2%), cross-sectional studies prevailed (44.4%) and all were written in English. Conclusion: The study of the literature showed that the health care of transgender men encompasses several challenges such as lack of professional competence, fear of receiving transphobic treatment, lack of guidelines and scarcity of scientific evidence for the health needs of this public.
