Being able to accept who you are in this life is essential to prevent yourself from falling into the hole of insecurity and have a sense of belongingness and mental peace as you go out into the world. Many people around the world identify themselves as a gender opposite to the gender they were assigned at birth. Therefore, they seek to undergo a procedure that can make them feel comfortable with their own body.
In this video, a patient named Nanaji had a similar concern about his sexuality, for which he consulted Dr Vijay at VJ’s transgender clinic to go through surgery for male-to-female transformation. The patient opens up about his desire to get surgery, which he was unable to pursue before due to personal reasons. However, after meeting and discussing this with Dr. Vijay, the patient finally saw a ray of hope. The doctor provided comprehensive information about the procedure before and even during the surgery to address all the concerns the patient had, which led to a successful surgery and a satisfied patient.
The transgender community is getting the attention and respect it deserves. There’s no point in living a life like a person that does not make you feel happy and content. This is where gender change surgery is the ideal approach to assist the patient in living a better life.
To begin with the transition journey, it’s crucial to manage all things the right way. Being familiar with what will happen whether you want to get male to female or female to male sex reassignment surgery is all-important. Here are three significant steps worth considering as you plan for gender change surgery.
Three essential steps for gender change surgery
For the success of sex-change surgery for female into Male or vice-versa, these three below steps are the keystone to direct the journey towards success. Let’s give you clarity about all the 3 in detail:
Step 1: Mental Health Evaluation
Before beginning your trans journey, you need to get a green signal from your mental health professional. Individuals with gender identity disorder (gender dysphoria) can get the surgery. Additionally, the patient needs to show that they can give the consent they are ready to seek surgery.
The mental health expert even makes them familiar with whether they have support from any of their loved ones or not. Ideally, it takes around 2 to 3 visits for the individuals to understand the individual is in a better state to get the treatment done.
Step 2: Hormone therapy to help address the sexual characteristics
The hormones are the key factors that control bodily attributes like hair, muscle mass, strength, voice, etc. Getting hormones allows individuals to make themselves appear masculine or feminine.
Male Hormone Therapy
When male hormone therapy is given, the treatment works upon:
Making voice deep
Boost strength & muscle
Enlarge the clitoris
Make body and facial hair growth better
Female hormone therapy
As the name suggests, female hormone therapy aims to enhance feminine features. The main aim of female hormone therapy is to work upon:
Takedown the testosterone level
Get the body fat balanced all over the body
Reduce muscle strength and muscle mass
Increase breast tissue
Address the body and face hair growth
Hormone therapy works little by little in making a difference in the individual condition. Ideally, to notice the maximum results, you need to give at least five years, and then only you can see the difference. Even the studies have shown that individuals behind hormone therapy allow them to get under a relaxed state and feel happy about themselves & their body.
Before you begin hormone therapy, your overall health should be fine. Make sure to consult the doctor to understand what’s right and wrong.
Step 3: Planning for surgery
You might be surprised to know that 75% of the individuals don’t get surgery their entire life for the trans phase. No doubt, everyone has their wish as to what they want and what as well as what makes them feel comfortable the most. Whether you want top surgery, bottom surgery, or both, it’s up to you.
