The phenomenon of the discrepancy between a person's sexual self-perception and his/her genetic sex has been known to medicine since the mid-19th century. Initially, this discrepancy was considered to be a mental disorder. Over time, advances in medical abilities in surgery, hormonal treatment and infertility, have enabled physicians to help those who are affected to fulfill their wish. The present notion is that transsexualism is a solvable problem (whether the desired wish is for a man to become a woman or vice versa). Treatment is both complicated (surgery) as well as chronic (hormones). In this review the various medical aspects of the different possible treatments are discussed, excluding the psychological part of this intriguing condition.
自19世纪中叶以来，医学界就已经知晓一个人的性自我认知与其基因性别之间存在差异的现象。最初，这种差异被视为一种精神障碍。随着时间的推移，外科手术、激素治疗和不孕症治疗等医疗能力的进步，使医生能够帮助那些受影响的人实现他们的愿望。目前的观念是，变性欲是一个可以解决的问题（无论期望的愿望是男性变成女性还是反之）。治疗既复杂（手术）又长期（激素治疗）。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了不同可能治疗方法的各种医学方面，不包括这种有趣状况的心理部分。
