6-Month Follow Up Report3 weeks ago I have my post-op appointment with my HRT provider. We have been exchanging E-MAILs about my bloodwork with my PCP to adjust my Estrogen intake after GCS, but she finally was able to see me post op in person. She sees a lot of trans patients at Callen-Lorde (the biggest LGBT clinic in NYC) and has had a few patients use Dr. Rachel Bluebond-Langner for revisions but for their initial GCS until me. So she asked if she could do a pelvic exam as she wanted to see Dr. Rachel Bluebond-Langner's work. I said sure as it's always great to get an opinion from another doctor. She was really impressed with the aesthetics and how quickly I healed and also with self-lubrication I was having. (I still need lube for sex, but it's never bone dry or anything.)
So today I have my 6-month follow-up appointment with Dr. Rachel Bluebond-Langner. I told her that I was getting some spotting about a month ago while on our trip to Florida, but it went away but came back this morning. She immediately saw the cause, where a small area between the urethra and the vaginal opening on the side had overhealed (as she and Dr. Zhao put it) causing a little scar tissue to form, but she took care of it with some silver nitrate and said it will bleed a little for a few days and if continues after 2 weeks to see her again and also no sex for a few days. She also wants me to come back in 3 months to make sure everything is good. Otherwise, everything else was excellent and I don't have any discomfort whatsoever. Overall very positive
I can't stress how important it is to follow up on things and aftercare is extremely important no matter which surgeon you have.
