ANONYMOUS

For some or other reason I don’t want to disclose the name of myself and my child. I want to share that we were blessed with a baby girl in Nov 2014. When she was around 2 years of age we noticed some changes in her genitalia. Our primary physician was also confused why such changes occurred. There was some penis like organ started growing which also used to get erections often. He referred us to Dr. DInesh Sarda, Pediatric Urologist practising in Nagpur. He carefully examined and advised few investigations. With utmost care, empathy and taking us in confidence disclosed us the fact that our child is male internally (a case of Disorder of Sexual Differentiation – DSD). We were shocked but he counselled us very nicely. He performed sex reversal surgery (Masculanising genitoplasty). My child required 4 stages of surgeries in last 3 years. Now my son is doing very well. We are totally satisfied with appearance of his genitalia. It looks like and functions like male organ should work. Dr Sarda also helped us official formalities to change the gender on official documents.
We are extremely thankful to Dr Dinesh Sarda for his efforts to make my child absolutely normal. It was only heard about such kind of surgeries in movies or papers but now we witnessed ourselves. We are happy that such complicated and rare surgeries are now available in Nagpur.
