Hi there,
am new here, but I also suffer from a pain down there, although I am not transitioning. Can that be? all doctors said that I don't have anything. But the pain is still there. did any of you encountered this situation? I used hypnosis before and after testing my T level it is low for a man my age and shape. Can it all be related? can this happen?
Hi, dtf!
Welcome to Susan's Place.
I found that even before I had started HRT, that just staying tucked more than an hour or two led to my having some pain or discomfort for a day or so afterward. As others have mentioned, though, chronic pain or discomfort, particularly in the genitalia, is very probably worth mentioning to your primary care doctor or urologist (should you have one). There's just too darn much that can go wrong down there.
I've had two rounds of trans-urethral surgery to address bladder outlet obstructions, as well as spending a few years doing intermittent self-catheterization. Ow. (Dilation 4 times a day doesn't scare me that much...) The good that came out of that was being on finasteride for several years before officially starting HRT. Nice side effects...
I might have avoided much of this if I had paid more attention to what was going on, discomfort-wise, and not tried to 'man up'.
I hope you feel welcome here.
