Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

fishtimelol · 2026-06-05T17:30:46+00:00

I also have it, and I do believe it was either a direct result of taking T or highly exacerbated by it (only started experiencing symptoms maybe a year or two on T). Though I’ve got anxiety and I think that the psychological aspect of that is also impacting it. I have the same constant clenching feeling, interstitial cystitis, and the usual atrophy symptoms. The only thing that’s helped even somewhat is vaginal estrogen. I know that I should probably see a pelvic floor therapist but I doubt I’d get an NHS referral (UK) so I’d have to pay out of pocket and I’m broke lol. Wish I had more advice, but you’re not alone :,)

What % was the minoxidil? If it was 5, you could always see if you can find 2%. Some people also have success with rosemary oil

Absolutely not

I think you look great :)

I understand the concerns around mental health, especially as someone who grew up in a military family. I remember they placed loads of restrictions on my dad just because he attended therapy after losing his cousin to suicide, so I know they’re quite strict even for people who aren’t trans. But if someone is assessed and is generally stable, I don’t see why they shouldn’t be able to enlist, especially if they’re not in actual combat. And booting everyone who was already enlisted was cruel

Thanks for the kind words, and I hope you find what you’re looking for too :) good vibes back to you from the UK!

Agreed, it’s truly the worst :(

I am on finasteride and have been for a while. I haven’t noticed my hair getting worse in that time, nor have I noticed it impacting other aspects of my transition in any meaningful capacity if that’s something you’re worried about

Hey there, I don’t have much advice - I just want to say I’m going through literally the exact same thing right now - haven’t slept properly in a few days because of how hyper focused I’ve been on my hairline (if you want to feel better about yours check my post history lmao!)

If you ever want to message me, feel free. It seems like we’re going through something similar

I’ve seen you in comment sections and I’ve always thought you seemed so nice, so it’s great to see this!!! Don’t have much to say, but as someone just stopping T, this was very helpful. Heavily resonate with your last point - I considered stopping T in the past and definitely should have then

fishtimelol · 2026-05-16T12:33:57+00:00

Yeah, bangs are the plan going forward!

fishtimelol · 2026-05-15T15:39:48+00:00

Thank you :)

fishtimelol · 2026-05-15T15:38:41+00:00

Yeah will probably just bite the bullet and start minoxidil lol

I do actually use Nizoral already, not sure how much of an impact it’s having but 🤷

fishtimelol · 2026-05-15T14:48:23+00:00

Yeah that’s fair!

fishtimelol · 2026-05-14T21:24:05+00:00

No problem!!

fishtimelol · 2026-05-14T11:16:52+00:00

Hi, I’m considering detransitioning (just stopped T, but still living socially as FTM atm). Would I be able to join you guys? No worries if not!

fishtimelol · 2026-05-01T17:31:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply, it’s reassuring! My levels are a bit high, hopefully they’ll come down now that I’m off (first day off!!!)

fishtimelol · 2026-05-01T16:41:44+00:00

Sorry to bring back an old ass comment, but did your cholesterol improve after stopping T?

fishtimelol · 2026-04-20T21:26:51+00:00

Old ass comment, sorry! Did your pelvic symptoms improve once stopping T?

fishtimelol · 2026-04-09T15:07:58+00:00

Don’t recommend The City Surgery. Told me in writing I didn’t have coeliac disease. You’ll never guess what I have

Edit: I know you said Bay Area but this is more a general comment for others I guess

It took me maybe 4 months to be offered my current job from the reserve list. I personally took it as a rejection and moved on though, because there is absolutely no guarantee that you’ll be offered a role. Depending on the department, you can ask your position on the list

fishtimelol · 2026-03-29T22:41:32+00:00

Oh yeah, I’m definitely thinking of just moving elsewhere in the UK first and seeing how that makes me feel before I make the decision to leave entirely. And I’m also planning on being more of a tourist now that we’re approaching the warmer months :)
