1 clinic(s) offering Sex Change/Reassignment Surgery treatment in Chennai
Sexual reassignment surgery (SRS) is a medical solution for people suffering from gender dysphoria, the feeling of having been born in the body of the wrong sex.
Commonly referred to as a sex change, gender reassignment is a process of surgical and medical treatments to alter physical and hormonal characteristics of the patient. Surgeons can help transsexuals transition from male-female or female-male.
Gender reassignment surgery is irreversible, so a candidate must have no doubts about accepting the results and outcome.
Male-Female Sexual Reassignment: Male-female genital reassignment surgery involves removing the male genitalia and creating a vagina using the skin of the penis. Once the male genitalia (penis, scrotum and testes) are removed the patient will stop producing male hormones and the effects of HRT will become more pronounced. Breast augmentation surgery is often performed at the same time to create the contours of a female body.
Female-Male Sexual Reassignment: The process of genital reassignment for female-male transsexuals is a more complex procedure as surgeons must perform a hysterectomy first to remove the female sex organs from inside the body. A penis is constructed using the clitoris which enlarges with HRT. A prosthetic penis may be attached at the same time.
Female-male transsexuals often undergo a mastectomy to remove the risks and side effects. All surgeries carry the risks of infection, bleeding, and possible additional repairs.
