Associated factors
Multivariable regression demonstrated that there was a higher odds of reporting pelvic pain after starting testosterone in people also experiencing persistent menstruation, or who had a current or previous diagnosis of PTSD (Table 2). Pelvic pain was also positively associated with pain with orgasm. A total of 11.3% (N=39) reported that pelvic pain ‘always or almost always’ resulted in them stopping sexual activity or made them consider alternative ways/methods of being sexually active, and 39.2% (N=135) reported this was ‘sometimes’ the case.
