Next, the clitoris is created using the penis head. Thirdly the libia minora and the libia majora are created using part of the scrotal tissue.
Next the urethra(bladder) is repositioned and shortened. Then the testes and pubic hair follicles are removed.
This results in a complete and fully functioning female genitals which allows the woman to have penetration sex, urinate and even have an orgasm during sexual intercourses.
After sex Reassignment surgery, the woman is given six different sized dilators to use in dialating the vaginal opening everyday for six month to prevent it from closing up. After six months the woman will now have to dilate once a week if she doesn't have penetration sex.
