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.
Purpose of sex change surgery
There are two main reasons to change the genital organs from one sex to another.
- Many men and women occasionally believe they are physically a different sex than they are mentally, physically, and emotionally. This discordance is so profound that they opt for altering their genital organs.
- Newborns with intersex deformities must early on be altered from one sex or the other. These deformities represent intermediate stages between the female genitals and the change into male genitals which is caused by male hormone stimulation.
