Successful uterine transplant surgery, men can become pregnant immediately

Men can become pregnant 'tomorrow' if advanced technology is applied today ''.

According to former President of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) - Dr. Richard Paulson said at an annual meeting in San Antonio (Texas, USA), there is no scientific reason that prevents the success of a uterine transplant into a person.

'You can do it tomorrow. There will certainly be challenges, but I don't see any problems eliminating that possibility , 'Dr. Paulson said.

However, Dr. Paulson also asserted that although it is possible to implant a uterus into a man's body, natural delivery is not feasible. An embryo from the IVF process will be implanted and when the baby is born, doctors must perform a caesarean section to remove the baby.

In addition, the hormones introduced into the body must also be closely monitored to see if there are any changes during pregnancy.

The world's first successful transplanted intrauterine child birth occurred in 2014, when a 36-year-old woman was born without a uterus. She received a donated uterus from a friend. Up to now, there have been 8 children born through the above method.

The annual meeting of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine also highlights the lack of understanding of the conservation of reproductive functions of transgender patients . The meeting emphasized that very few transgender patients received fertility conservation treatments before transgender.

A survey of 20 transgender men showed that none of them underwent egg recovery and freezing surgery for reproductive preservation purposes.

Christos Coutifaris - ASRM President-elect recommends: 'It is very important for a transgender patient to know that reproductive function conservation treatment is their choice. We have to do better to raise awareness of people and colleagues to apply medical treatments to reproductive function conservation. '
