Understanding the Procedure
What is Penile Sparing Vaginoplasty?
For those seeking gender-affirming surgery, genital anatomy does not have to define gender identity. Penile sparing vaginoplasty (PSV) offers an option for a diverse group of patients, including transgender women and gender non-conforming individuals, to transition in a way that aligns with their needs. With PSV, patients can maintain the penis while a vaginal canal is created.
How Does It Differ From a Vulvaplasty?
While both penile sparing vaginoplasty and vulvaplasty are gender affirming procedures, they differ in their approach. Penile sparing vaginoplasty allows for the preservation of the penile structures while creating a neovagina. On the other hand, vulvaplasty focuses on the external genitalia, creating a more vulva-like appearance.
Since each patient's goals are unique, PSV is a customizable procedure. The PSV technique allows for a vagina and vulva to be constructed while preserving penile tissue and sensation. For those who wish to affirm their gender identity while retaining an important part of their anatomy and sexual function, PSV can help patients feel complete in their transition.
Benefits of Penile Sparing Vaginoplasty and Other Gender Affirming Surgeries
Undergoing penile sparing vaginoplasty or other gender affirming surgeries can have profound positive impacts on your life. Here are some of the key benefits:
Physical and Emotional Well-being
Gender affirming surgery can alleviate gender dysphoria and improve your overall well-being. Penile sparing vaginoplasty specifically allows for the creation of a neovagina while preserving the penile structures. This procedure provides a more personalized outcome, enhancing your physical comfort and satisfaction.
Enhanced Self-Confidence
Achieving a body that aligns with your authentic self can significantly boost your self-confidence. Penile sparing vaginoplasty and other gender affirming surgeries can help you feel more comfortable in your own skin, enhancing your self-esteem and allowing you to live more authentically.
