Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS)

Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS) is a medical procedure that helps transgender individuals align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. It involves surgical alterations to: for transgender women, create female genitalia; and for transgender men, construct male genitalia. The goal is to improve personal well-being and congruence with one’s gender identity. SRS is often part of a broader transition process that includes counseling and hormone therapy. The surgeries are performed by specialized surgeons and vary depending on individual needs and health considerations.
