A case of women undergoing sex-change surgery?
Female transsexual surgery "female to male" has long existed. According to experts, transsexual surgery was tried in Europe as early as 1930s. In the late 1980s, sex-change surgery began to enter China. In the 1990s, transsexual surgery was gradually recognized by the medical community in China. After careful preparation, from 65438 to 0995, Professor Zou successfully performed a "male to female" operation for a 30-year-old railway worker in the Medical Beauty Center of West China University of Medical Sciences, which was also the first transsexual operation in Southwest China. 1998, a 24-year-old northeast woman came to Chengdu from her hometown with various procedures issued by the public security organs and notary departments in order to fulfill her boy dream. In four months, this woman underwent six operations and successfully became a man. According to Professor Zou, after 10 years of development, only a few experts in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Zhuhai, Wuhan and other cities in China can perform sex-change surgery, and about 200 cases have been completed nationwide. Why is it so difficult to have a sex change after a female sex change operation? The operation itself is a very difficult operation, but compared with "male to female", "female to male" is much more difficult. Female to male needs to remove the breast, uterus, ovary and other accessories and seal the vagina, and then rebuild the Adam's apple, testis, scrotum, penis and urethra. Among them, the reconstruction of penis and urethra is quite difficult. At present, the general methods are more complicated, prone to complications and more likely to fail. Only by combining with plastic surgery can the reconstructed penis and urethra be more reasonable, more realistic in appearance and produce certain functions. Female transsexual surgery needs to be standardized. Experts believe that more and more people can't wait to squeeze into hospitals and ask for sex-change surgery, which is by no means normal and gratifying. Only those patients who have been diagnosed as transsexuals need this kind of operation. The proportion of transgender people in the population is extremely low. At present, there are no laws and regulations on sex-change surgery in China, and the market management is chaotic. To do a normal "male to female" operation, the price of domestic regular hospitals is 30,000-50,000 yuan, and the price of a "female to male" operation is about 65.438+10,000 yuan. For transgender people, it takes at least half a year to be diagnosed. After diagnosis, patients need to live according to their desired gender for more than half a year. If they can adapt to the new gender, they can finally undergo sex-change surgery.
