gender identity disorder a disturbance of gender identification in which the affected person has an overwhelming desire to change their anatomic sex or insists that they are of the opposite sex, with persistent discomfort about their assigned sex or about filling its usual gender role; the disorder may become apparent in childhood or not appear until adolescence or adulthood. Individuals may attempt to live as members of the opposite sex and may seek hormonal and surgical treatment to bring their anatomy into conformity with their belief (see transsexualism). It is not the same as transvestism.

Patient discussion about gender.

Q. In which month of pregnancy it's possible to determine gender of the fetus?

A. its usally done in the second trimester,or about 4 months.

Q. My wife is in her 23rd week and She disagrees to find the gender.How can I persuade her to know the gender? I wish to know the gender of my baby. My wife is in her 23rd week. She disagrees to find the gender. I am desirous to know the gender so though I can find her name and tell my friends and relatives. How can I persuade her to know the gender?

A. Hey, Derik.. it's quite funny to read your story and question.

I think your wife just wants it to be a surprise for both of you, and maybe she doesn't want to have negative expectation (I mean, if you are expecting a boy, and then the ultrasound examination says that it is a girl, then you will get disappointed).

So, here is my tips for you, respect your wife and just give her some space, but after the regular pregnancy check up, just ask the doctor without your wife needs to know, and KEEP THAT for yourself only. win-win solution, right?

Q. How many ways are there to see the gender of the baby? My wife is in her first trimester. We have planned for this pregnancy well ahead and following the do and don’ts in pregnancy. This is her first pregnancy and we both are curious to know the gender of the baby. This is her 10 th week. I want to know that how many ways are there to see the gender of the baby.

A. yeah, I think the only way is by doing ultrasound. ask your doctor, and he/she will tell you what ultrasound tells you, but one important note is : it is not absolutely always 100% accurate, so manage your expectation.

stay healthy always..
