Sex Change Surgery

Sex change surgery is defined as a treatment that changes the physical appearance and function of a person’s genitals. The procedure brings the person’s genitals into alignment with their gender identity. It is also called gender confirmation surgery. Such a procedure may also be needed in the case of children who are identified as belonging to the other gender due to the underdevelopment of specific hormones in the body.
