Gender reassignment treatment, which includes psychotherapy, hormonal therapy, and surgery, has been demonstrated as the most effective treatment for individuals affected by gender dysphoria (formerly known as gender identity disorder). Gender dysphoria is a condition in which a person experiences a significant incongruence between their biological sex and their gender identity. It is important to note that gender dysphoria is not a mental illness, although it was erroneously classified as such in the past.
Gender dysphoria, also known as transgenderism, involves a person feeling that their biological sex doesn’t align with their gender identity. It’s crucial to understand that gender dysphoria is not a mental illness.
People with gender dysphoria have various treatment options, including counseling, hormone therapy, and sex change surgeries. However, not all transgender individuals desire or require sex change surgery. Some may only need counseling or hormone therapy, while others choose to undergo surgery. It’s essential to recognize that sex change surgery is irreversible, so anyone considering this procedure, specifically transitioning from female to male, should carefully weigh their decision.
Sex change surgery is a series of complex procedures, both genital and non-genital, aimed at alleviating gender dysphoria. In female-to-male sex reassignment surgery, the goal is to reshape female genitalia into a form that resembles, both in appearance and function, male genitalia.
Hormone therapy is a crucial component of the female-to-male transition. It involves the administration of male hormones, like testosterone, orally or through injections. Hormone therapy plays a significant role in changing physical characteristics to align more closely with a male appearance. For some individuals, hormone therapy alone is sufficient to alleviate gender dysphoria, eliminating the need for sex change surgery or immediate social transition.
Gender reassignment surgery for female-to-male individuals comprises core genital procedures, such as uterine and ovarian removal, phallus reconstruction (phalloplasty), and scrotal reconstruction. These procedures are complemented by non-genital surgeries, including breast removal and facial and body masculinization surgeries, which collectively complete the transformation.

Female-to-male sex change operations are for people who are biologically female, but who identify as male and wish to live their lives as a man.

Quitting smoking is a perfect solution even without surgery as it involves many health risks, but it’s totally up to your wish whether you want to quit or not. But you should surely stop smoking at least 2 months before the surgery.
