title: [Descriptive study of transexuality in Navarre].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Transexuality has been recognized in Navarre as a clinical entity that must be attended to in a multidisciplinary form in the Navarre Health Service.
  
  
  METHODS
  An analysis was made of the epidemiological data of 35 subjects who have attended the Navarre Transexual and Intersex Unit (UNATI - Unidad Navarra de Transexuales e Intersexos) since April 2011. The variables related to socio-demographic parameters, transexuality and treatment were collected.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The average age was 37.3 years. Sixty-five point seven percent of the subjects were born in Spain. Seventy-one point four percent of the users are feminine transsexuals. At present 62.9% of the subjects are receiving hormonal treatment. Amongst the feminine transexuals 20% have had a mamoplasty, 4% have had a vaginoplasty and 20% have had both operations. Ten percent of the masculine transsexuals have had a mastectomy, 10% have had a hysterectomy with double anexectomy and 10% have had both operations.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The majority of the transsexuals in Navarre are being evaluated in the UNATI. More feminine transsexuals have attended than masculine ones. The feminine transsexuals more frequently have reassignation surgery, while the masculine ones have extirpative surgery.
