And it’s time to capture what we can of your remaining sperm. An <abbr title="removing the testicles">Orchiectomy</abbr> is the preferred way followed by a careful dissection to capture the remaining sperm. A <abbr title="removing the Penis">Penectomy</abbr> is also indicated. The tissues from both would be used to start the growth of the vagina and uterus. We’ve decided growing ovaries is a bridge too far for quite a few years now. We considered using donated ovaries but that is alien tissue and not your own cells. Full anesthesia, surgical team that has done numerous reassignment surgeries. You’d have a smooth patch down there except for where your urethra is left open. No change in how you control urination but sitting will be recommended and using the bidet to wash too. We don’t need you to get a <abbr title="urinary tract infection">UTI</abbr>. So what do you think? Still want to do this?”</span></span><br/><br/>
