A Brazilian transgender named Maju underwent gender reassignment surgery in 1999, after which he officially became a woman. However, after a few years, her sex life turned into a real hell, because her new genitals were narrow and small.
Because of this, Maju was soon forced to completely abandon sexual intercourse.
But some time ago, she learned about the talented surgeon Leonardo Bezerra from Fortaleza (Brazil), who creates new organs from the skin of freshwater fish tilapia for women who were born without a vagina.
Maju signed up for an operation called neovaginoplasty, and on April 25, during a 3-hour operation, she had a new vagina made from specially treated and sterilized fish skin.
After healing, this skin connects so well with the tissues of the human body that it recreates the structure of the natural vaginal tract.
Maju was the first transgender woman in the world to undergo such an operation.
According to Maju, she is delighted with the result:
Maju realized that she was a woman in the body of a man in her early teens, that is, about 20 years ago.
According to Professor Bezerra, vaginal stenosis is a common problem in transgender people who have undergone gender reassignment surgery.

Because of the problems with her sex life, Maju broke up with her partner, but now she is thinking about finding a new one.
Tilapia fish skin is used to make artificial vaginas in Brazil. She is first sterilized and then subjected to radiation therapy to kill any remaining viruses. After that, the skin can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 years.
Due to the saturation of moisture and collagen, tilapia skin in Brazil has been actively used for the treatment of burns for several years now. This skin interacts very well with the patient's immune system and heals faster.
