摘要
Tucking is the gender-affirming practice of putting the penis and scrotum between the buttocks and moving the testes up into the inguinal canals. Our study explores tucking and health effects among transfeminine adults (n=79). Most (74.7%) had practiced tucking and among them, 67.2% had tucked >= 7 years. When tucking, the majority (84.5%) tucked daily and almost half (44.8%) >= 17 h/day. Half (50.0%) reported concern about the health effects of tucking. Itching, rash, and testicular pain were the most commonly reported health effects. Health care providers should use a harm reduction approach in addressing tucking-related concerns and supporting patients who tuck.
