Q: What happens to a male’s testicles after a sex change surgery? Also, I was told that a male reproduces testosterone, which is related to the urge to have sex; what happens to this after the surgery?
A:Sex change operation is male to female or female to male. In male to female gender reassignment surgery the testes are removed and the urge to have sex goes away.
