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.
