Introduction: Transsexual people encounter a series of difficulties in medical care, both in the private and public health systems in Brazil.
Objectives: Demonstrate to health professionals the reality experienced by transsexual people when they need medical care in Brazil, in order to improve knowledge about the care of this population group.
Methods: Data collection was carried out in February 2020 with searches in electronic databases: Pubmed, Scielo, Lilacs and Google Scholar. The following descriptors were used: transgender; medical care; transsexual; cross-sex hormone therapy from 2000 to 2020.
Results: We found 720 publications with the keywords transgender persons and medical care, 30 with the keywords transgender, medical care and cross-sex hormone therapy, with few studies conducted in Brazil
Conclusion: To improve the health care of transgender people, it is necessary to insert specific disciplines on this topic in the curriculum of technical, undergraduate and graduate courses in the health area.
