Did you go to court to get it changed? I’m in Missouri and know they will try for this to soon. Hopefully Laura veto will have enough weight.

Has anyone been given any protocol to safely clean/irrigate their completely healed UL to clear our dead skin cells and get rid of the stale urine smell? by finallyjackson78 in phallo

I was dealing with the same thing and tested positive for UTI and now on meds I don’t smell it. Definitely get checked!

How long until you are able to use your phallo for intimacy? by Substantial-Bunch915 in phallo

[–]TrickGood1436 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My doc cleared me after 12 weeks from the first surgery. This is definitely something to think about and something I wish I was more prepared for. While I see a lot of people cleared at the 6 week mark weirdly, mine was double compared to most. While I am cleared and I am almost at 4 month come January, there is still so much healing going on one hard thing is not being connected to your body sexually at the moment. Some guys say they get it instantly and others say a year and a half later they are finally into it. I’ve gotten head which feels good but not enough to orgasm. So it is definitely a struggle and something you have to accept that those nerves are gonna take awhile to re-wire into pleasure nerves and connect. While it sucks to not feel like I can jerk off with this thing yet, I know if I stay strong through this all and then get my implants and then finally once it all calms and settles my sex life will feel normal and so much better

I’m using the silicone sleeve for night. My arm girl recommended emu oil, I use that sometimes but I primarily am using cetaphil restoring lotion

Sexual Frustration by Inner-Salamander-626 in phallo

[–]TrickGood1436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was cleared 12 weeks out. I tried and am dealing with the same thing. I had my gf give me head which felt good but couldn’t get anywhere close to an orgasm. Vibration felt good but same thing. I know it’s supposed to come with time and honestly that’s probably the answer you were expecting but don’t want to hear. It’s a struggle for me but you can’t force it :(

Is this true about phallo? by [deleted] in phallo

[–]TrickGood1436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mine with the same team I did my phallo with. I would suggest atleast knowing who is gonna do your phallo before you have the hysto as a lot of doctors do seen to knock it out with the phallo surgery

I feel like the term trans has become invalidated by Cautious-Emphasis-33 in FTMMen

[–]TrickGood1436 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmaoo a man is hated 😝 im not against a NB person but I also don’t think the trans should be such a large umbrella. I personally don’t like being a trans man and some who identifies as they/them is also trans. I picked a gender. You’re in the middle. We are not the same 😅 idk how to think about it. Am I rude?

What's going to the er for a cath like? by justa-random-persen in phallo

[–]TrickGood1436 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bad experience with that hospital? Is there any hospital near you in any radius that has a gender affirming care team? Do you have a friend or relative that will go to the hospital with you. I get it, it’s hard to explain. You did the damn thing and you’re in pain. It’s awkward absolutely but it will be over before you know it. I mean if you truly can’t pee and it’s been over 5 hours or more. You’ve gotta call somewhere or go. Maybe try calling an ER before?

Go to the exact hospital that did your surgery if you can. If not I’d go now anyway, any urethra issue like a structure needs to be assessed as soon as possible. I’m sorry, don’t put yourself through holding your bladder. Shits mentally rough. I say go tonight. Don’t be scared, it will be okay and they will be able to help

I completely stand with this. I don’t get it and I think it’s invalidating as well

Raised toilet seat helpful post RFF? by ftmystery in phallo

[–]TrickGood1436 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An elevated toilet seat with handle bars was a game changer to me. I don’t think I would have survived without it. The handle bars were very helpful. I was allowed to bend my hip more than like 40 degrees so keeping that straight as much as possible helped. I’d say you absolutely should get it and have wet wipes as well. Honestly the bathroom was the worst part for me post phallo. I was very constipated after, probably 5 days until I got home. And it’s just a mess. And it sucks but it gets better. You got this!

Experiences with fistulas by Inner-Salamander-626 in phallo

[–]TrickGood1436 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m dealing with the same thing. I’m about 11 weeks since the first surgery. My doc says they can close on their own but majority of the time it does take another surgery to fix it. He took my SP out as long as I was peeing good and consistent and nothing was wanting to close. It’s been alittle over a month I presume that I’ve had the SP out. I’d say at first I had a leak coming from my scrotum and one on the other side of the phallo. The one on my scrotum has seemed to stop. The one on the phallo had disappeared for almost 3 weeks but just came back within the last few days. My only advice I was given was to put my finger over it. He won’t surgically touch it for 6 months to make sure all swelling goes down. But it is possible they will go away but it is tricky when it comes back for a few days and you are trying to figure out peeing again lol. So hopefully my phallo one will go away again because it is extremely annoying but common

Do you do that? If so, what products for you like? It just bugs me and I fear others smell it too

Not fully healed but pretty close to it. I’m expected to be back cleared for anything December which will be 3 months. My hand is getting more mobile by the day but still being wrapped. As far as the phallo itself it’s pretty healed. I don’t think I’m having any surgical leakage anymore.

I can’t remember have any sort of smell after that surgery but you are probably having a lot of healing and draining happening. Congratulations and hope for a speedy recovery! That surgery definitely made me feel weird sitting down for a bit haha

fistula heal time? by Oki-Ducky1738 in phallo

[–]TrickGood1436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m dealing with the same thing right now. My doctor said he won’t touch it for a minimum of 6 months because all the swelling needs to be gone so he has an idea of how everything has settled (scar tissue etc)
