downstairs growth **TW anatomical names of parts**

[uk_older_ftm]

So guys, I've been on T for just over a month now. I've had some growth, but not all where I want it. I mean, my clitoris has grown, which is cool and what I wanted, but I seem to have some labial growth too. I struggle with this, as this particular part of me was already...prominent, and I really didn't want any more of it :/

Anyone else experience this? It's kinda grossing me out a bit... 😔

I feel like I read something related to this recently, but I can't remember exactly what the person's observation was - it was either like you've experienced with larger labia or theirs became much smaller. Can't remember. I want to say it was on ->-bleeped-<- but not sure. I personally had no changes downstairs other than clitoral growth. My labia stayed the same. My mons is slightly less fatty than before, but I think that's related to weight loss and not fat redistribution.

Haven't heard of this getting bigger. I reckon it's due to weight gain.

Thanks for the input, guys. I'm actually losing weight at the moment, so don't think it's that, Elis. Gaining muscle etc, but losing dead weight. I mean, it could just be that I'm more aware of what things are looking like down there, as I've been checking more to see if there have been changes...

I experienced the same. I ended up with significant growth and I'm quite happy with what I ended up with for the little guy itself. Unfortunately, I already had a large labia and both my wife and I agree that that seemed to get larger as well. This results in not really being able to see the growth at all (unless he's excited).  Because of that, that region is still very female looking which is incredibly dysphoric. If the labia were much smaller, I would have much much less dysphoria. I intend to have bottom surgery someday... But working in Catholic healthcare means that it will be all out of pocket and that will require quite a bit of planning.

I also have lost weight since starting, increased muscle mass and reduced body fat percentage so I know it's not that. I'm not sure if it happens commonly but it happened to me too.... It's a bummer.

Mine didn't really grow, per se, but it got... uh... less 'full' feeling. It's sort of like a deflated ballsac now.
I'm referring to the labia majora; the minora didn't change whatsoever.

When you see that in a male the scrotum is effectively where the labia majora are and forms from those analogous tissues (it even typically has a 'seam') and T causes the testes and scrotum to descend at puberty, it makes sense this is part of the changes.

Can't say that appears to be happening to me yet but it is early days.
