In a sex change operation how does a girl get a penis and a guy get a vagina?

Question

if there are any medical articles or papers on how its done that would help alot

Answer 1

For men becoming women, their penis is turned inward to create a vagina. See this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_reassignment_surgery_male-to-female

For women becoming men, their vagina is reversed as well, going from inside to outside to become a penis. See this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neopenis

They keep all of the sensation and sometimes there is cosmetic surgery done to make it look more like the "real thing".

Answer 2

For female-to-male transsexuals:

Well, it depends on the type of surgery. If it is a cliordectomy or a metoidioplasty, then all that is happening is an enlargement of the clitoris. Partial enlargement already happens due to taking testosterone; the rest comes from the 'clitoral release' that it's released from its position and moved forward to more closely approximate the position of a biological penis. Here the clitoris is made of the same basic stuff of that penile tissue is made of- and ordinary women's clitorises become erect just like a penis, so the new organ, enlargened from the testosterone and sugery, can also become erect, and is sometimes large enough for shallow penetration to occur.

If it is a phalloplasty, which results in a penis in similar size to that of a biological man, then it's somewhat different: the organ is made from donated skin and nerves (usually from an arm). How they do this is somewhat complicated; it involves grafting the skin and attaching blood vessels and a lot more than I really know, but nonetheless it creates a very nice penis. While it is 'hooked up' to the genitals, so to speak, and has feeling, the same sexual reaction won't occur from the brain sending bloodflow to the organ for an erection. It will remain flaccid. FtM's with this sort of organ have a way around that, however- they use a pump device located in their bodies to achieve erection, just the same as a lot biological men who are impotent or have erectile dysfunction. Then deep, penetrating sex is possible.

Neither types can ejaculate- they don't have the internal system to produce semen, even if a set of testicles are added. It's just the same way that a MtF can't become pregnant because although a vagina was installed, a uterus cannot be- we don't have the capabilities to create vas deferens and all that piping and everything necessary. However, women can and do ejaculate, and it's understood that FtM's with that ability beforehand would still be able to do it afterward, especially if they just had a clitoral-enhancing surgery. If a hysterectomy took place, however, and the vagina was sewn up, then of course ejaculation is impossible.

As for male-to-female transsexuals, I'm not that much of an expert. I believe the penis is halved and "reversed", so to speak, and 'stuffed back inside' (although that sounds crude) to form the new vagina, which will then have sensation. Sorry that I don't know that much about that type of surgery, but it's certainly less complex than most FtM surgeries (the ol' 'easier to dig a hole than build a pole' saying).

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

not 100%sure about the woman for a penis but the guy gets a vagin by his penis being folded back in a way and pushed up inside the body to form a vagina

Answer 4

In the case of male-to-female, the penis is basically inverted (turned inside-out) and implanted within the abdomen. As far as female-to-male, I don't know.

Answer 5

They don't get a real one. furthermore the operations leave them sterile so they are actually a surgically mutilated person masquerading as the opposite sex.

Answer 6

on a female they can use a donar penis or they can build one out of skin grafts or us a finger and take out all of the bones and nukles and on a male they turn the penis inside outand remove the sack if wanted

Answer 7

I'm pretty sure they have to have 2 patients to do this operation.

Answer 8

Answer 9
