Dr. Theerapong Poonyakariyagorn MD Male To Female Surgery Requirements:
Dr. Theerapong Poonyakariyagorn, MD, has established certain prerequisites for individuals considering Male to Female (MTF) surgery to ensure they are adequately prepared both physically and mentally. These prerequisites include:
Psychiatrist Certification:
- One certificate from country of origin.
- One certificate issued in Thailand.
These certifications are crucial to verify the patient’s psychological readiness for gender-affirming surgery.
HIV Test:
- A negative HIV test result is mandatory.
This test is essential for assessing the patient’s overall health and minimizing potential risks during the surgical procedure.
Hormone Treatment:
- A minimum of one year of hormone therapy is required.
Hormone treatment helps the body acclimate and prepare for the physical transformations related to the surgery, improving the overall surgical outcome.
Hair Laser Removal:
- At least five sessions of laser hair removal are required.
This procedure is recommended to decrease hair growth in the genital area, which is vital for surgical accuracy and achieving lasting results.
These guidelines are designed to enhance surgical success and facilitate a smoother recovery, aiding patients in obtaining the most favorable outcomes from their MTF surgery.
