Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I want to undergo gender transition, but I don't know what effects my body will have after the decision is made. Can you tell me about it? What are the general functions of the testicles? If they are removed, what problems might arise in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, I am very happy to help you solve your difficult questions. Regarding men, the main function of the testicles is to produce sperm. You now want to have a gender-affirming surgery, and this issue is also quite complex, not as simple as you imagine. First, you need to get a gender test from the medical institution where you plan to have the surgery. Based on your physical characteristics and sexual orientation, a sexual orientation assessment will be conducted. If you undergo a male-to-female gender-affirming surgery, then the testicles will no longer have any significance to you, as they will have been removed. Male sexual health conditions tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital.
