Can a male undergo surgery to have a female reproductive system?

Answer 1

It's possible but complicated.

Male organs are reshaped to resemble female organs as much as possible during sex reassignment surgery for male-to-female transgender patients.

On the other hand, trans women lack uteri and ovaries.

As a result, they require uterus transplantation before they can become pregnant or start a period, and they need to continue taking hormone therapy to stay in a female hormonal state.

No, a male cannot undergo surgery to have a female reproductive system. While surgical procedures can change external genitalia, they cannot create functioning internal female reproductive organs in a male body.
