In some cases, surgery may be used to treat gender identity disorder. People who want the physical characteristics of their sex to match their gender identity can choose to undergo a sex change operation. When used in combination with psychological counseling and hormonal supplements, sex change operations often have very good results. Before there was a sex change operation, they must have at least one year of experience as a real life to live other sex.
During that time, they can take hormones to develop secondary sex characteristics of the other sex. After that, the operation can be done to change sex. In the male-to-female transsexuals, penis and testicles removed and an artificial vagina made. In female-to-male transsexual, female reproductive organs were removed and an artificial penis can be made. Often, sexual feelings and sensations can be maintained in the new genitals, although this is more difficult in women-man operation. Talk to your doctor about your options if you are interested in a sex change operation.
For other people with gender identity disorder who want their physical characteristics to match their gender identity, hormone supplements can be taken to help change their appearance. For male-to-female transsexual, taking feminizing hormones can help in breast development and the reduction of body hair. Hormone therapy is a popular treatment used for many cases of gender identity disorder. Some people with this condition do not require treatment at all. For female-to-male transsexual, androgens such as testosterone can help a person develop the body and facial hair, increased muscle tone, and lowered his voice. Hormone supplementation may be available in a variety of forms, including pills and patches, so talk to your doctor about the options.
