Today, science has not yet developed methods for transplanting the uterus into men, but theoretically this is NCC No. It is possible by an obstetrician-gynecologist, head of the gynecology department of the 1. academic BV Petrovsky, doctor of medical sciences Vardan Vardanyan.
“A male womb transplant is not possible at this stage. Because methods for performing the operation and preparing the patient for the intervention have not been developed. For example, if we consider the issue of feeding the uterus through veins, it is important to understand which veins should be taken for this. Of course, you can also remove large main vessels such as the femoral artery that will be brought to the uterus as a result of the operation,” Vardanyan said.
Men will also need to undergo a procedure to remove the organs that secrete androgens (male sex hormones), namely the testicles. In addition, the patient will need to take hormonal drugs – without this, pregnancy will not occur.
“You can also find a place for the uterus. Since this organ cannot be found elsewhere, it can only be located in the small pelvis. Physiological development of the uterus will take place during pregnancy, so this is only possible here.”
But the doctor emphasized that first of all, the method of uterus transplantation for women should be fine-tuned, only then it is necessary to take care of men.
British doctors recently transplanted a woman’s uterus to her sister, who was born without this organ. According to some experts, this paves the way for the transfer of the female genitalia to the male.
