Hello Sydneysiders (and former Sydneysiders) !
I am scheduled to undergo SRS on the 17th July with Dr Sanguan Kunaporn.
I am worried about finding a doctor that can provide affirmative surgical aftercare upon my return to Sydney. I just want to make sure I'm not completely alone and 5,000 Kms and several timezones away from my help if I run into problems.
There are a couple of things I worried about:
- Potential Vaginal Infection during first 3-6 months
- Granulation tissue growth making dilation difficult or impossible
- Problems with tight pelvic floor muscles making dilation difficult
- Those heart-wrenching stories from women who have experienced unexplained vaginal closure despite strict adherence to their dilation regimes
I spoke to Taylor Square. They are certainly comfortable providing generalised trans medical health including basic gynaecological care for post-op women (which is reassuring!), but I did get the sense that they don't have a lot of experience dealing with complications arising during surgical recovery (such as the above issues).
Can anyone recommend a surgeon or physician in Sydney that has experience in dealing with post-op complications. Just so I have a plan of where to go if I do run into problems.
Or am I boxing with shadows and these problems are so rare that no one really has much experience dealing with them?
Thanks so much!
