Experimental physicians from the Queensland Clinic believe that in the near future, men will have a unique opportunity to bear and give birth to children.
A uterus transplant operation in males is capable of helping to make a unique breakthrough and change human nature.
The Queensland Clinic deals with uterine transplants for women born without this organ or with severe uterine disorders. Experts note that while uterus transplantation for men lies in the field of theoretical research.
In theory, males are capable of bearing a child and giving birth to it. Fertility doctor Karin Chung is confident that such transplants will become a reality in 5-10 years.
Hormone therapy can prepare the body for pregnancy by helping to modulate progesterone and testosterone levels. To support life in the uterus and then in the fetus, it will be possible to construct a whole network of new vessels.
However, one way or another, men will have to take medications against rejection, which can develop as a reaction to the fetus. Such procedures are well known today to people who have changed their sex.
The biggest problem with pregnancy in men will be embryo transfer to the uterus. This will require surgically creating a vagina in order to directly contact the uterus.
