Hi everyone, Dr Jay Mehta, here from Mumbai.聽聽
[3]
I happen to be the scientific director of the聽 Gender Reassignment Surgery program at our clinic.聽聽
[10]
This program involves a huge team of people so聽 obviously it's not just me alone , apart from me聽聽
[18]
the most important person in the team is a聽 urologist and the second most important guy is聽聽
[24]
a plastic surgeon. This is as far as the surgical聽 team is concerned ,then there is a psychiatrist in聽聽
[29]
the team and apart from psychiatrist there is聽 somebody who is called as an endocrinologist,聽聽
[35]
obviously then there is a support staff with聽 reproductive endocrinology, laparoscopic surgery,聽聽
[39]
nursing care and all these things but in聽 this video we are only going to understand聽聽
[44]
What are the basics which anyone should know. So聽 practically when you do GRS or gender reassignment聽聽
[52]
surgery you are trying to address a population聽 who is a transgender population. Now normally we聽聽
[61]
would like to divide the transgender population聽 as a transgender male or a transgender female.聽聽
[70]
So what should you understand what is the聽 meaning of transgender male, what does this mean?聽聽
[76]
Now this is essentially somebody who is born a聽 female okay but identifies herself as a male,聽聽
[89]
behaves as a male, wants characteristics as聽 a male, that means wants the voice of a male,聽聽
[94]
wants the appearance of a male, Wants the聽 attitude of a male, wants the hormones of a male聽聽
[100]
and all such other things. Remember whenever聽 you are converting somebody from female to male聽聽
[108]
obviously there is a long phase involved the first聽 phase in any of these procedures is the phase of聽聽
[115]
counselling this is a very long phase, the second聽 phase is the phase of a psychiatric clearance聽聽
[121]
this is again very very important, now once聽 these two things are completely sorted and聽聽
[126]
done only then you can go ahead to the next step聽 and that next step is endocrinology. Endocrinology聽聽
[133]
means the phase in which you are given hormones聽 now this phase could be a little long lasting聽聽
[138]
phase typically is going to last for approximately聽 three years- two years or whatever based on the聽聽
[145]
outcomes which one is seeking. Exactly reverse聽 of this is something called as Transgender Female聽聽
[153]
right , now transgender female is somebody who is聽 actually a male who is born a male but identifies聽聽
[160]
himself to be a female. In this conversion as聽 well in the conversion from male to female as well聽聽
[169]
you know the steps the first three steps聽 are going to be absolutely the same,聽聽
[174]
as a patient what is important聽 for you to remember is that聽聽
[178]
this conversion that is the conversion from聽 male to female is a slightly easier conversion聽聽
[184]
as against the conversion from female聽 domain. This is definitely the easier option聽聽
[191]
the conversion. From female to male that means聽 when i'm talking of converting somebody from聽聽
[195]
female to male that requires a lot of artificial聽 prosthesis lot of plastic surgical corrections and聽聽
[202]
that may or may not be associated with the best聽 possible cosmetic outcomes. The cosmetic outcomes聽聽
[209]
from male to female are absolutely excellent there聽 is absolutely no doubts about that. One can have聽聽
[215]
a female vagina with the help of a sigmoid one聽 can have lot of other things artificial augmented聽聽
[221]
breasts so many other things can be possible when聽 you are converting somebody from male to a female聽聽
[227]
there is a little issue as far as the body stature聽 the body structure and the voice is concerned聽聽
[232]
that thing can be slightly problematic and that聽 can be modified only a little and not massively聽聽
[239]
obviously if you undergo some vocal got surgery聽 you may be able to modify that. Now this is the聽聽
[245]
absolute basics of gender reassignment surgery.聽 In our subsequent videos we are going to be聽聽
[250]
discussing a lot more things as far as gender聽 reassignment is concerned, lot of procedures as聽聽
[256]
far as gender reassignment is concerned and聽 what should every prospective patient know.聽聽
[262]
So keep watching this channel when you are聽 wanting to understand about this entire process聽聽
[267]
and should there be any questions you聽 can post them in the comments box,聽聽
[270]
somebody from my team would try to get back to聽 you as quickly as possible thank you so much.
