Dr. Apichart Jaideecharoen

Dr. Apichart Jaideecharoen (Thai: อภิชาติ ใจดีเจริญ; Kamol's Thai pages write นพ. อภิชาติ ใจดีเจริญ) is an obstetrician and gynaecologist working in Bangkok. His medical degree is from Mahidol University, and he holds the Thai Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. His official profile at Kamol Cosmetic Hospital in Bangkok's Wang Thonglang district puts him on the hospital's gender-affirming surgery team, where he removes the uterus and ovaries (hysterectomy and oophorectomy) for transgender men. The profile also names his methods: vaginal hysterectomy for trans men (FtM), and oophorectomy using a minimal-incision technique.

Knowing his specialty saves time when you plan. Dr. Apichart trained as a gynaecologist, not a plastic surgeon, and Kamol's doctor directory files him with its general and specialist surgeons, under the label 'Gynecologist'. Within a female-to-male plan at Kamol, the part of the work documented as his is the removal of the internal reproductive organs. Reconstruction of the chest and genitals is documented for the hospital's plastic surgeons, among them Dr. Akaradech Attainsee for top surgery and phalloplasty and Dr. Kamol Pansritum for phalloplasty and metoidioplasty. If gender-affirming hysterectomy is what you are researching, he is one of the doctors to consider; questions about building a phallus or masculinising the chest belong with those surgeons.

Beyond Kamol, two other Bangkok hospitals name him as a gynaecologist. Kamol's profile says he has worked at Veterans General Hospital (โรงพยาบาลทหารผ่านศึก) since 2023, and Ruamjairak Hospital, on Soi Sukhumvit 62, lists him in its obstetrics and gynaecology department. The Kamol profile also records general gynaecology interests: uterine fibroids (myoma), adenomyosis, pelvic organ prolapse, women's health and pelvic surgery.

To ask about surgery with him, request a consultation with Dr. Apichart Jaideecharoen through our patient team. A request is only the first step, not an appointment: the team checks with Kamol first and then confirms availability with you. The details on this page were taken from official hospital pages, a hospital outpatient timetable and public databases opened on 27 September 2026, and our provider research methodology sets out how profiles are checked.

His published education leads directly from medical school into obstetrics and gynaecology. None of it is in plastic surgery.

• Doctor of Medicine, Mahidol University (2012). Listed on his Kamol profile.
• General practice, 2012–2014. Two years as a general practitioner at Samutsakhon and Kratumbaen hospitals in Samut Sakhon before specialist training (the career section below has the detail).
• Obstetrics and gynaecology residency, Vajira Hospital, 2014–2017.
• Thai Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2017. On the Thai version of the profile the qualification appears as วุฒิบัตรสาขาสูติศาสตร์และนรีเวชวิทยา (the Thai specialist diploma in obstetrics and gynaecology), with Vajira Hospital as the training institution.

Why the specialty matters for this operation. Gynaecologists are the surgeons trained to operate on the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries, the organs a gender-affirming hysterectomy deals with. Kamol also lists 'minimally invasive surgical techniques' as one of his subspecialties. No fellowship in minimally invasive gynaecology or in gender-affirming surgery is named on his profile, and we did not find one in other sources, so ask him where he learned the techniques he would use for you and how regularly he performs them.

Society membership, as stated. An earlier Kamol profile, preserved in an archive copy from 5 September 2025, called him a member of The Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RTCOG). His current profile no longer lists memberships, and RTCOG offers no public member lookup, so this remains the hospital's statement rather than something we confirmed. The same archived page said 'Member of The Thai Medical Council'; that describes his registration as a doctor, not membership of a professional society.

Medical licence. None of the official profiles prints a licence number; the licence can be looked up on the Medical Council of Thailand's public register at checkmd.tmc.or.th. The register is linked under 'Sources and checks' on this page; a search with his Thai name, อภิชาติ ใจดีเจริญ, is likely to be the most direct route.

Published work. PubMed lists no articles under his surname, so no journal publications appear here. The only writing of his we located is a Thai-language patient article about hysterectomy on Ruamjairak Hospital's website, dated 12 June 2025 and credited to him.

Dates here come from Kamol's English and Thai profiles, with details added from the two other hospitals' own pages.

Now

• Kamol Cosmetic Hospital, Bangkok, since 2022. Gynaecologist on the gender-affirming surgery team, providing hysterectomy and oophorectomy for transgender men. It is this role that makes him relevant to a cosmetic and gender-affirming surgery site such as ours.
• Veterans General Hospital, Bangkok, since 2023. Gynaecologist. The hospital's published timetable for its obstetrics and gynaecology outpatient department (OPD สูติ-นรีเวชกรรม) shows นพ.อภิชาติ ใจดีเจริญ in the Monday and Friday clinics, morning (09.00–12.00) and afternoon (13.00–15.00). The timetable is an image without a date, and its file appears to have been updated around May 2024, so treat those days as a guide and confirm them with the hospital.
• Ruamjairak Hospital, Bangkok. Its doctor page shows 'Apichart Jaideecharoen, M.D.' under obstetrics and gynecology, with a portrait matching the photo on his Kamol profile. The hospital, at 77 Soi Sukhumvit 62 in Phra Khanong, gives no start date.

Before

• Kratumbaen Hospital, Samut Sakhon, 2017–2023. Gynaecologist, according to the Thai Kamol profile. Kamol's earlier English profile put it as practising obstetrics and gynaecology as a licensed physician from 2017, the year his board training finished.
• Samutsakhon and Kratumbaen hospitals, 2012–2014. General practitioner. The current profile names both hospitals for the whole period; the archived profile divides it into Samutsakhon Hospital (2012–2013) and Kratumbaen Hospital (2013–2014).

Other specialists on Kamol's female-to-male team. Several specialties contribute to masculinising surgery at Kamol, so it helps to know whose documented work covers which step. A second gynaecologist is listed for the same operation: Dr. Pittaya Vapattanawong, whom the directory labels an onco gynecologist. Top surgery is documented for Dr. Akaradech Attainsee and Dr. Sanipreeya Yingtaweesit; phalloplasty for Dr. Akaradech and Dr. Kamol Pansritum; metoidioplasty for Dr. Kamol; and urethral lengthening for Dr. Ravis Tivitmahaisoon, a urologist. If your plan involves more than one of them, ask Kamol who would take part in each operation.

Gaps in the public record. No official page we read gives his number of gender-affirming hysterectomies, his complication or revision rates, or independent patient reviews. Kamol's profile for him includes promotional statements about outcomes and some patient testimonials; they are left out here because they are not independent evidence. Our gender-affirming surgery guide recommends asking every surgeon for their yearly numbers of the procedure you want, and that question applies to him too.

On our site, Dr. Apichart has one documented procedure: hysterectomy and oophorectomy (gender-affirming). His Kamol profile describes it as two linked operations, and each raises its own questions. Because our own guide to this procedure has not yet been published in full, what follows is general and contains no timelines; the plan for you, including your time in Bangkok, comes from his assessment.

Vaginal hysterectomy for trans men

The uterus is removed in a hysterectomy. Whether the cervix goes too is a separate point to confirm, because only a hysterectomy that includes the cervix is called total. In the vaginal approach, the surgeon detaches the uterus and removes it through the vaginal canal, so no cut is made on the abdomen. His Kamol profile lists this approach first.

In general, the surgeon decides whether the vaginal approach is possible for a given patient after examination and, where needed, imaging, taking into account factors such as the size of the uterus and the vaginal anatomy. Useful things to clarify with him:

• whether you are suitable for the vaginal approach, and what he would do instead if you are not;
• whether he plans to remove the cervix, which determines whether you still need cervical screening later;
• what happens if he finds something during surgery that changes the plan.

Oophorectomy with a minimal-incision technique

Oophorectomy means removing the ovaries. His profile lists 'oophorectomy with minimal-incision technique' as its own area of work and names minimally invasive techniques among his subspecialties, without describing the method. Ask him to explain how he would reach the ovaries in your case and where any scars would be.

Removing the ovaries has consequences that last well beyond recovery:

• Your hormones. Before menopause, the ovaries make most of the body's own oestrogen. With both gone, prescribed hormone therapy is what your body depends on, so arrange before surgery who at home will prescribe and monitor your testosterone afterwards.
• Having children. Without a uterus, pregnancy is no longer possible; without either ovary, neither are genetic children from your own eggs, unless eggs or embryos were frozen beforehand. If this matters to you, raise fertility preservation before a surgery date is set.
• Separate decisions. A hysterectomy does not require removing the ovaries, and some people keep one or both. Ask him what he recommends in your situation and his reasons.

Fitting it into other masculinising surgery at Kamol

Kamol lists hysterectomy among its female-to-male services along with top surgery, metoidioplasty, phalloplasty, urethral lengthening and scrotoplasty. According to our phalloplasty guide, it is common for people to have had the hysterectomy before phalloplasty or during its early stages, and a phalloplasty plan can also include vaginectomy (removal of the vagina). If genital surgery is part of your plan, ask Kamol in what order Dr. Apichart's operation and the plastic surgeons' stages would happen. Some surgeons do several procedures in one trip or even one operation; that lengthens both the time under anaesthesia and the recovery, and whether it is safe in your case is a clinical judgement.

His general gynaecology interests

His Kamol profile also names uterine fibroids (myoma), adenomyosis, pelvic organ prolapse, women's health and pelvic surgery. These belong to his broader gynaecology work rather than to gender-affirming care, and he also practises as a gynaecologist at Veterans General Hospital and Ruamjairak Hospital. We do not publish procedure guides for these conditions, so this profile does not go further into them; for general gynaecological care, the OB-GYN departments of those two hospitals can be approached directly.

A consultation is where the general points above turn into a plan for you. Kamol runs secure video consultations with its surgeons for people who are still at home, but whether he personally takes them is not stated on his profile; our patient team can ask. In person, the consultation takes place at Kamol in Bangkok. Write your questions down beforehand. These are the ones most relevant to the operations documented for him.

The operation

• Which organs do you recommend removing for me (uterus, cervix, one or both ovaries), and why?
• Can my hysterectomy be done vaginally? If not, which approach would you use, and would it leave scars on my abdomen?
• How do you perform the minimal-incision oophorectomy, and where will the incisions be?
• How many gender-affirming hysterectomies do you do, and how are complications handled if they occur?
• Is the removed tissue sent for pathology, and will I be given a copy of the result?

Eligibility and preparation

• What does Kamol need from me before this operation: how many assessment letters, from whom, and how long on hormone therapy? Our gender-affirming surgery guide explains how the WPATH Standards of Care, Version 8, approach assessment, and notes that requirements vary between hospitals. Kamol's doctor directory includes psychiatrists, so if you have no letters yet, ask whether an assessment can be done in Bangkok.
• Do I need to change my testosterone or any other medicine around the time of surgery?
• Which tests do you want before the operation, and can I have some done at home? The hospital's diagnostic floor (the second) includes an in-house lab, X-ray, ultrasound and ECG.
• Is fertility preservation worth considering for me before surgery?

Recovery and the journey home

• How many nights will I be in hospital, how long should I then stay nearby, at K Garden or elsewhere, and when is it safe to fly?
• What should I avoid doing, and for how long?
• Which documents will I leave with (operation notes, discharge summary, pathology report), and will they be in English?
• Will I need cervical screening after the hysterectomy?
• Who looks after me if something goes wrong once I am back in my own country, and how?

Planning and cost

• Could this operation be combined with top surgery or a stage of genital surgery, and would you advise that for me?
• Which items does the hospital's quote cover (surgeon's fee, anaesthesia, room, tests, medicines, follow-up visits), and what would be billed separately?

We do not show prices on this profile. The hospital sets its fees and gives them to you in writing, and what a combined plan costs depends on what it includes.

Kamol Cosmetic Hospital is where Dr. Apichart's gender-affirming surgery is documented. Its address is 1223 Lat Phrao 94, Inthraphon Rd., Wang Thonglang, Bangkok 10310, and its Thai name, โรงพยาบาลศัลยกรรมตกแต่งกมล, is handy to show taxi drivers. The arrangements below are what Kamol publishes about itself; check each one for your own trip.

• Before travelling: Kamol runs secure online video consultations with its surgeons, gives every consultation request its own personal representative, and has an international phone line for questions, urgent ones included.
• Language: according to Kamol, its staff speak English and Thai, and interpreters for other languages can be arranged when requested. None of Dr. Apichart's profiles states which languages he speaks, so if Thai is not your language, ask for an interpreter to be present at the consultation and on the ward.
• Getting there and staying: Kamol helps with hotel reservations and airport transfers. Its pre-arrival page says the hospital can extend a medical treatment visa; the rules depend on your nationality, so confirm with the hospital and with a Thai embassy or consulate.
• After discharge: on leaving the ward, patients transfer to K Garden, serviced apartments the hospital runs close by, and Kamol says dressings, the removal of stitches and check-ups with the surgeon are done there. The hospital's 7th floor also has medical residence apartments for recovery.
• Going home: Kamol provides a limousine to the airport.
• Paying: Kamol takes card payments, bank transfers and cash in six currencies: baht, US, Australian and Canadian dollars, euros and sterling.

Accreditation. A 27 September 2026 search of the Joint Commission International (JCI) directory found Kamol Cosmetic Hospital listed as accredited (Hospital Program, effective 7 November 2015, no expiry date displayed). A search of the HA Thailand accreditation database returned no entry for the hospital. Accreditation assesses the hospital's systems for quality and safety, not the results of any single doctor.

His other hospitals. We do not profile Veterans General Hospital or Ruamjairak Hospital and have not researched what they offer international patients; everything in this section is about Kamol.

How long to plan for. Neither our hysterectomy guide nor his profile gives a typical length of stay yet, so ask Kamol for a written timeline: nights in hospital, follow-up appointments, and the earliest date you could safely fly. When the hysterectomy is paired with top surgery or a genital-surgery stage, the operation with the longer recovery is likely to decide your return date. Take your operation notes and discharge summary home with you and give copies to your own doctor, especially whoever manages your hormones. For the rest of the city, including other hospitals on our site, see the Bangkok guide.

For a hysterectomy, your records do most of the talking. Photographs, which matter for facial or chest surgery, are not normally part of it, so send them only if Kamol requests them. Collect the following and upload it only through the secure link that arrives after your booking is confirmed.

Identity and plans

• Full name as in your passport, date of birth and the country you live in.
• The dates you have in mind, and whether you would like to consult online or in person.

Gender-affirming care so far

• Hormone therapy: the medicine, dose, start date and the name of your prescriber.
• Assessment or referral letters you hold, noting who wrote each one and their profession.
• Any gender-affirming operations already done, and those you are considering, at Kamol or at another hospital.

Gynaecological history

• Earlier abdominal or pelvic surgery, such as a caesarean section or laparoscopy, with the operation notes if available.
• Known gynaecological conditions (fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis) and any pelvic ultrasound or MRI reports.
• Your latest cervical screening result, if you have had one.
• Whether you still have any bleeding while on testosterone.
• Any previous pregnancies.

General health

• Every medicine and supplement you take, blood thinners in particular, and any allergies.
• Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or past blood clots, and any earlier difficulty with anaesthesia.
• Smoking or vaping habits.
• Recent blood results, where available.

Your decisions and questions

• What you have decided, or still need to decide, about fertility preservation.
• The questions you want to put to him, including any from the consultation list above.

When you are unsure whether something matters, include it and flag it in your notes; the hospital will say if anything else is needed.
