Male Pregnancy With Uterus Transplant?

Question

Oaky, so, technically male pregnancy is possible, right, but it would have to be in the form of an abdominal pregnancy, which is pretty dangerous. I was wondering, would it be possible to transplant a uterus into a male and if the uterus transplant was successful would male pregnancy be possible?

Answer 1

What Cricket said -- men don't produce the right set of hormones to sustain a pregnancy.
Furthermore, men produce testosterone, which would result in overmasculinization of the developing fetus. The man would have to be castrated to keep this from happening -- and then he'd not really be a man any more.

Answer 2

If a man got a uterine transplant, he would have to be on anti rejection medications just like any other transplant. And I'm betting that a fetus would not be able to grow with all of those strong meds.

Answer 3

A man can't have a pregnancy, and there's no need for him to. Also, castration does not make someone not a man anymore. What poor answers...

Answer 4

To sustain that pregnancy the man would have to go thru daily injections of hormones usually secreted by a womans body.

Answer 5

the uterus would likely not 'take' since the cellular composition is alien to the male cells. You have to have a close tissue match to transplant organs.. Its not going to work until you find a guy with ovaries, and then once a month he is just going to complain about the operation anyway.......

Answer 6

the only what to make this posibile is if you change most of the body parts in a males body because when a women is pregenant, most of the hormones are affected by the majority of the body

Answer 7

are you on anything illegal say !full strentgh pain relievers!
by the way i think that does not make any sense since we dont produce same hormones and that would be just plain nasty

Answer 8

then you'd also need a transexual surgery too because a bay cant come out of your whoo-hoo
