18 months on T
As of today, I have been on testosterone for 18 months and 3 days. Since last month, I think I’ve dropped some weight around my waist. Also, muscle cramps have decreased. But the biggest transformation over the past few months has revolved around body hair growth. I can barely believe how furry I’m getting!
Are trans men at higher risk for post-hysterectomy VVF than women?
At one of the follow-ups after the diagnosis of my post-hysterectomy vesico vaginal fistula (VVF) I asked my gynecologist if he thought the effects of testosterone on vaginal tissue could have played a role in my complication. There’s very little data out there about this but I’ve come across references that state that testosterone makes vaginal tissues weaker and thinner. If androgenized vaginal tissues are compromised, wouldn’t that call for a surgeon performing hysterectomy to be more cautious with the pressure used in suturing?
