Treatment Methods for Hermaphroditism
Comprehensive treatment of hermaphroditism at Ichilov involves the application of the methods listed below, depending on the specifics of each individual case.
Surgical Intervention
One of the most common methods for treating hermaphroditism is surgical intervention. Doctors perform correction of anatomical defects. Depending on the specific situation, the surgery may include removal or reconstruction of organs, as well as their repositioning.
Hormonal Therapy
Hormonal therapy is also part of the treatment plan for hermaphroditism but can be used as a standalone method. Its goal is to correct hormone levels in the patient's body. Depending on the specific situation, hormonal therapy may include the use of estrogens, androgens, or gonadotropins. It aims to change the patient's appearance, improve organ functions, and modify processes related to sexual maturity and reproductive functions.
Psychotherapy
Hermaphroditism is often accompanied by psychological issues related to gender uncertainty and individual self-perception. Ichilov clinic employs modern psychotherapy methods aimed at helping patients overcome these problems and adapt to their new situation.
