gender reassignment surgery
Gender reassignment surgery, also known as gender confirmation surgery, is a medical procedure that helps individuals transition from their assigned gender at birth to their identified gender. This surgery can involve various procedures, including breast augmentation for transgender women and phalloplasty or vaginoplasty for transgender men, depending on the individual's needs and goals.
The decision to undergo gender reassignment surgery is personal and often follows extensive counseling and evaluation. Many individuals seek this surgery to alleviate gender dysphoria, which is the distress caused by a mismatch between one's gender identity and assigned sex at birth.
