Can humans be hermaphrodites

Answer 1

It is possible for a human to be a true hermaphrodite. Due to a discovery in Texas in 2003, it has been proven that a single human being can possess both male and female reproductive organs inside and outside the body. It is believed that a DNA disorder called Chimerism is the source of this condition.

Hermaphroditism is rare in humans, but not unheard of. Often, the organs are not completely separated or developed, and you have one ovary and one testes or "ovo-testes" mixtures. Sometimes you have a "true" hermaphrodite with organs from both sexes present.

Hermaphrodite humans are often infertile, but not always, and it is possible for a hermaphrodite to be able to sire or bear children.

Answer 2

That would depend on whether they are more female or more male. Hermaphrodites almost never have a complete set of both reproductive organs. One is usually more developed than the other.

If they have a proper uterus/ovaries/tubes etc., although rare, it is not impossible. They will also have problems with fertility, but, again, it is not impossible, just rare. A hermaphrodite who doesn't have a uterus and functional ovaries cannot get pregnant.

In India in 1998 a hermaphrodite with no facial hair and developed breasts as well as a uterus, one testicle and a penis gave birth to a still-born premature child.

Answer 3

The first step would be normal hormonal transition to female. From there you need to find a doctor willing to perform the surgery, most will have issues with not transitioning you all the way.

The procedure you will need are not those used for transexuals, but those used to aid women with Vaginal Agenesis (congenital lack of a vagina). You will not get the sensation in your new vagina that a MtF transsexual would get in hers, as they carefully more nerve endings for penile inversion, and you would have none to move.

the 4 procedures i know of are: (probably not a complete list)

Rectal Graft - uses a section of colon as the lining for the neovagina
McIndoe - uses a skin graft wrapped around a foam and rubber plug while it heals. The plug is removed after healing is complete.
Vecchietti - minimally invasive laproscopic technique. In which they pull an olive shaped stint into the body, using a thread connected between the olive at your neovagina and a ratcheting pulley at your naval. Over the course of a week or more, the ratcheting devicing is tightened once of twice daily, causing stretching and microlacerations (a good thing)
Davydov - minimally invasive laproscopic technique. A section of the peritoneum (lining of the abdominal cavity) is reshaped to form the lining of the neovagina. a silicone gel insert is inserted for the duration of the healing period.

In all cases, vaginal dilators are to be used for 30 minutes a day until the patient becomes sexually active. In this case specifically being penetrated, not doing the penetration on someone else.

Answer 4

First, we must make one thing clear. A hermaphrodite is a plant or animal that possesses both male and female reproductive tissues. In humans, this is extremely rare. In fact, no documented case of human hermaphrodites holds both tissues to be functional. In most cases, we currently tend to think of "intersex" where certain physical features of animals have mutated in such a way that makes their outward appearance suggest something else.

As far as sex goes, they are human beings just the same as us. Though they may or may not appear differently from you or I, intersex individuals are capable of sexual activity.

Answer 5

They are form when a y sperm and an x sperm enter the x egg at the exact same time. It can

also be formed because of a father or mothers deformity.

Answer 6

Through surgery if you were not born with multiple sets of reproductive parts.

Answer 7

Humans are not hermaphroditic.
