Gender trans people have faced challenges blending with society as they have sometimes been subjected to levels of violence and discrimination. Thankfully, gender affirmation surgery can help address this issue and enhance a better life.
It’s a surgical procedure that involves making the transgender woman’s body align with the female gender identity. Once the physical feminine characteristics are restored, the patient is relieved of the psychological distress.
During gender confirmation surgery your surgeon will administer anesthesia to help with the pain during the surgery. An incision will be made on the scrotum to remove the testicles from your body. Once the testicles are removed, the surgeon may reconstruct the vagina and vulva, a process that is also called “bottom surgery.” The procedure is combined with hormone therapy to encourage breast growth as well as other female characteristics.
According to the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), you must be informed and demonstrate that you understand what normally happens during the procedure.
Before the surgery, you must present a letter of support from a qualified mental health provider. In some instances, you need to be on hormone therapy for at least one year before opting for the orchiectomy.
After surgery, always continue seeing a mental health professional with an understanding of transgender care. Recovery will normally take two to eight weeks, depending on the surgical technique. During the recovery period, you’re required to avoid lifting heavy objects, driving, or having sex.
Research shows that trans women who undergo this surgery experience reduced gender dysphoria and improved quality of life. For better results, ensure you find qualified professionals.
