sexual reassignment surgery

Sexual reassignment surgery (SRS), also known as gender confirmation surgery, is a medical procedure that alters a person's physical characteristics to better align with their gender identity. For transgender individuals, this may involve surgeries such as constructing or modifying genitalia, shaping secondary sexual characteristics, or other procedures to achieve a more congruent body. The goal is to improve mental well-being and reduce gender dysphoria. SRS is often part of a broader transition process that includes psychological support and hormone therapy. It is tailored to each individual's needs and desires, and performed by specialized surgical teams.
