Michael Williams, a 52-year-old transgender man, had been experiencing a persistent, painful burning sensation during urination for several days. As a man who had undergone gender-affirming hormone therapy but not lower surgery, he felt a deep sense of anxiety and dysphoria about seeking care for a 'female' issue. He delayed seeing a doctor, worried about being misunderstood or facing insensitivity. The pain became severe, accompanied by lower abdominal pressure and cloudy urine, forcing him to book an appointment. His empathetic Obstetrician-Gynaecologist, aware of his history, created a safe and affirming environment. She explained that urinary tract infections are common in his anatomy, regardless of gender identity, and recommended a simple urine test to confirm the diagnosis. The sample collection was handled with discreet professionalism. Treatment was a short course of antibiotics. Within 48 hours, Michael's symptoms had drastically improved. Emotionally, he moved from fear and isolation to relief and validation. The respectful care he received not only treated the infection but also significantly eased his long-standing anxiety about accessing necessary gynaecological healthcare.
