Anyone else hate just how hard it is to find out on any new SRS methods?

[LilDevilOfPrada]

I recently decided to check up on the possiblity of new methods because to me the current ones creep me out!

-I mean the newly made vagina is a wound 
-POssiblity of internal hair growth 
-Needs dilation for ever  (I mean i am lesbian so depth is not a issue but still!)

Those are a few reasons. I could go on and on but really has anyone find a better way to research this?? I mean the last bit of information on a possible new method was from a comic book!  Likelyhood of it being real is low!

So tell me anyone got a way to find out on new methods or we forever gonna be stuck with these current barbaric methods?

well they have been trying to do uterus transplants,

but unless they can recreate live tissue in a lab or alter your dna code, that's probably a long ways away. I have not heard of anything.

Well some lesbians use toys and strap on's, so you might consider that not to be a negative.

I had surgery in 2003 and I would hardly call it barbaric. My "plumbing" works just fine for many years now and I have been quite satisfied with how everything turned out in the end.

I don't know if you expect a magic pill, but the reality is SRS is pretty major surgery and takes a long time to heal. I mean a good solid year before everything is healed up. In my case I suffered from swelling for a good 6 months post-op before it started looking fairly normal "downstairs". But it healed or a long time. I was feeling the post-surgery zaps even after a year of healing.

I had my surgery with Dr Brassard in Canada and although he does not require genital electrolysis, I went and did it anyways. I figured it would take me forever to save up the surgery (it took a good 2 years) and while I was waiting I did the genital electro for 2 reasons: (1) I wanted a specific outcome down there, and part of that outcome was not being very hairy in the downstairs department. (2). While that was going on I could do the bikini line and other straggling hairs down in that area while I waited out my surgery date.

I can assure you I have no hair problems today. It's been a while since I looked in the mirror, but it all pretty much looks like normal female vagina if you ask me, although I am not exactly a vagina connoisseur. After a few years the skin changed color and started to look normal.

Dilating is an important aspect of this surgery and important for vaginal health. You do know that normal born females sometimes have to dilate as well, not just post-op TS women. Dilators were invented for them first and re-purposed for us later. It all goes with the territory. If tapers off after a while into something normal and actually easy to do. I can watch an episode of Walking Dead and dilate and I'm all set for another week. There is going to be no escaping dilating, no matter who the surgeon is. There are muscles there that have to be opened up to create the vaginal opening and the only way to keep the muscles from collapsing is through dilating.

Thank you for this and i know its major i read there is no way i could ever prepare myself for the pain and that's also a bit scary. But reading your words gave me i little more comfort in current methods.

there have been a couple of reports of using mucosa tissue to generate a  neo vagina in the lab. The new vagina was successfully  transferred to cis-girls who had been born without vagina. One of this papers come from an Italian group and the other one from Egypt.

I wonder when this techniques is going to be tried by the SRS surgeons.
