Colombian female model husband is pregnant

Colombian female model Dana Sultana posted a set of photos on social media, in which her husband Esteban Randra held up her belly, which was more than 8 months pregnant, while she kissed her husband's belly.

After the photo was released, netizens quickly expressed curiosity about the male pregnancy. However, in fact, her husband is not a real male, but a transgender.

Generally, the surgery to change from female to male is very complicated, requiring removal of the breasts and plastic surgery of the breast features to give them masculine features.

The female uterus, fallopian tubes and reproductive organs are also removed, and then the male reproductive organs are reshaped. and processes such as implanting supporting tissue.

However, when undergoing sex reassignment surgery, you can also choose not to remove the female reproductive system, so that you can still retain the female's reproductive function. If necessary, you can get pregnant for your wife. This has been done in the past.

Normally, transgender people usually use the germ cells of other men to conceive, but what is more peculiar about the Colombian female model couple is that their child is their biological child.

Yes, the female model is also transgender, but she changed from "male" to "female". Male-to-female surgery usually involves removing the male's reproductive system, but she still retains her own gender organs. Therefore, they can have offspring like ordinary couples.

Can men get pregnant?

There have been documented cases of human male pregnancy in the past. In a hospital in Yunnan, my country, a 27-year-old man was delivered. But in fact, he was not pregnant, but he was finally separated from his younger siblings.

It turns out that under extremely rare circumstances, when some twins are in the womb, the stronger one will gradually absorb the other. But more accidentally, the man will absorb the other. into his own abdominal cavity, so that the individual begins to develop within his body.

However, this case is very rare, and the individuals in the abdominal cavity will not survive. Most will be absorbed, and only a few will stay in the abdominal cavity and require surgical removal.

We know that the reason why men cannot get pregnant is because without the female reproductive system, the embryo cannot implant, let alone absorb nutrients from the father's body. But according to research from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, perhaps we can achieve male pregnancy through medical means in the future.

Specifically, a woman’s uterus is transplanted into a man’s body, and estrogen and progesterone are injected to make the man’s body reach the level of a woman’s pregnancy.

When infants and young children develop to a certain period of time, the baby can be removed by caesarean section. This is because the male pelvis is generally smaller, which is not conducive to the birth of children.

However, this research is only theoretical at present. This experiment is still waiting for the review of the ethical review committee and the assessment of whether there is any risk to the baby.

Are there any dangers in male pregnancy?

When this research first appeared, many LGBT people were very supportive of it. They believed that this technology could help men also have the right to become pregnant and have children. But many people are also considering whether male pregnancy will cause harm to men. We know that in addition to differences in appearance between men and women, there are also differences in the sex hormones in the body.

Specifically, the more male hormones in the body, the more obvious the male characteristics will be; the more estrogen in the body, the more obvious the female characteristics will be. But when surgery can make men pregnant, men need to inject estrogen and progesterone in order to get pregnant, which will cause obvious changes in the male body. For example, the reason why Thai shemales show feminine characteristics is because they Frequent injections of estrogen.

If male pregnancy is found to cause damage to the male body, the study will also be terminated. In other words, although men can theoretically become pregnant through certain medical means, in reality this technology may not actually be used.

Summary

Judging from the existing scientific and technological means, generally "male" pregnancy is because the male is a transgender and has retained his reproductive function during the operation. Colombian women The model couple are such transgender people. They have changed from their original gender to their current gender, and both have retained their reproductive functions, so they can give birth to their own offspring.

From a medical point of view, there are still many problems for men to overcome in order to become pregnant, the most important of which are ethical review and whether the operation will cause harm to the baby and the male body. Once the assessment results find that the harm caused to humans is far greater than the help to humans, the experiment will not be allowed to proceed.
