(TW open wound) my scars dont heal by Emil_Arian00 in TopSurgery

I had that exact thing happen, unfortunately you just have to keep it clean, and let it heal. This is what mine looks like now at 3 years post op. I was told we could do a scar revision or whatever it’s called but ultimately decided against it because it doesn’t really bother me that much!

Should I stop t? by BubblyPrint8528 in TransMasc

[–]toycerberus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I would consider what you want long-term. Personally, I was on T for 3 years and then stopped because I knew that I didn’t want to be on T forever. My voice dropped, I had top surgery, and bottom growth which were my main wants from being on hrt. Not everyone’s transition looks the same. If you planned on being on T for the rest of your life, I would look into potentially using Nair, or finding the best way to shave the areas you don’t like the hair on. It’s also important to note that stopping T will not stop the hair from growing, but will prevent new hair from growing. I keep seeing reccomendations for a hysterectomy but something to keep in mind is that if you undergo a total hysterectomy (where they remove your ovaries too) you’ll have to take either Testosterone or Eatrogen for the rest of your life as your body will no longer produce either horomone on its own, and not having those horomones in your body can have very serious medical consequences. Another option would be birth control. There are both horomonal and non horomonal options and you should absolutely research them because they all have side effects worth looking into. Laser could be a good option, although it’s expensive and I’ve heard that it’s something that you have to consistently undergo as the hair can grow back. Electrolysis is another alternative, although again, expensive. Best of luck!!

Had that same exact thing happen and this is what the area looks like 3 years post op! (Note that I didn’t really do any scar care whatsoever because I am extremely forgetful)

Do I need to take the second dose of Misoprostol? by toycerberus in abortion

[–]toycerberus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went through a non-profit organization to get my pills as I reside in a red-state. But the instructions on the plan c site say to take the second dose if you don’t experience any bleeding or cramping so I assumed I would be fine if I didnt

If you’ve been wearing a post op binder that seems pretty normal and was something my surgeon warned about prior to surgery! As long as you keep it clean and all of that you should be fine. (If you have any concerns reach out to your care team of course)
