TRANSSEXUAL TREATMENT

Transsexual Treatment


It have two treatments. Firstly is MTF Treatments. MTF transsexuals take female hormones estrogen and sometimes progesterone. They may also take medicines to make their body stop making or responding to testosterone. These are called 'anti-androgens. It causes breasts to grow, but it will not reverse many of the effects of testosterone. It does not make beards go away. It does not make voices higher. So transsexual women have to do many other things to make their bodies more female. They have treatment to remove their facial hair. This is usually through electrolysis. Sometimes transsexual women with deep voices may have surgery to raise them. Many transsexual women try to make their voice sound higher and more female without surgery. Sometimes they go to voice coaches or speech therapists to get help with this. Lastly, is FTM Treatments. FTM transsexuals also take hormones. Testosterone works much better for FTM transsexuals than estrogen does for MTF transsexuals. Testosterone will make a transsexual man's voice deeper. It will make a beard grow. Testosterone also cause menstruation to stop. many transsexual men also want genital surgery. Some get a total hysterectomy which is removal of the uterus and ovary. Some may also get surgery on their outside genitals. The two most common surgeries are a phalloplasty and a metoidioplasty. A phalloplasty takes skin and tissue from somewhere else on the transsexual man's body and makes it into a penis.

  5. Iran is a conservative Islamic Country, yet the mullahs in Iran do not object to people afflicted with transsexualism, changing their sex. It has been scientifically proven, that transsexuals are born with brains like those of the opposite sex. It causes them great suffering to have to live as their birth sex. Why should transsexuals continue to suffer? Is Allah merciful, or not? I think Allah is merciful, and would approve of surgery to relieve their suffering.
