According to local media such as Jagran News, an 18-year-old boy living in Prayagraj (Allahabad), India, cut off his genitals on his own and was taken to the emergency room due to a large amount of bleeding.
A, Amethi's hometown, came to Prayagraj, where academies and dormitories are concentrated, to prepare for the college entrance exam.
As an only child, she attended a wedding ceremony and thought she wanted to become a woman.
Believing his gender identity was a woman, he began Googleing how to change sex.
In the meantime, I saw a man who said he was a self-described doctor, and I heard that in order to become a woman, the genitals must be removed first.
Accordingly, A prepared anesthetics, surgical knives, cotton, and disinfecting alcohol, and after injecting anesthetics, he cut off his genitals on his own in a semi-conscious state.
After that, when the bleeding worsened, he was rushed to the emergency room for treatment.
The medical staff at the hospital judged that A's condition was 'Gender Dysphoria'.
This is a diagnostic name that was expressed in the past as 'gender identity disorder'.
Medical staff refer to a condition in which an individual's gender identity does not match the biological gender specified at birth, resulting in psychological distress or discomfort", he explained.
According to the standard tool 'DSM-5' used to diagnose and classify mental illness, the diagnostic criterion for gender discomfort is ▲ a strong desire to be treated by another gender ▲ a discrepancy between one's gender identity and physical gender characteristics ▲ a strong desire for transformation lasts for more than six months.
In this case, he advised that you should consult a psychiatrist first.
