I mean. Talk to the surgeon when he gets back to you. If they can make an fTm penis out of arm muscle, they can definitely do something. And plus stem cells, which later on, might be able to really "Rebuild" what invasive surgery has damaged. Don't give up. I know it sucks, but you're cool. I don't judge.
Stem cells unlikely, i worked in stem cell research for a couple of months feeding the cells a year or two ago. Don't think they'll be making useable muscle any time in the next couple of decades. In the scourse of playing with stem cells though they are inventing lots of intersting things cells like to grow on, they might be able to implant something synthetic that the cells around grow onto.

And for muscle stuff, maybe try Kava kava or something. Don't totally, EVER, rely on pharmaceuticals. Those medicines are mostly about money, not your health.
Don't get too paranoid about pharmacuitacles, or too over-keen on "natural" stuff. alternative medicines are just as much about the money as pharmacuiuitacles, they're just less thoroughly tested.
but fruit like cranberries and pro-biotics are a good idea. they mey help, and they certainly won't do you much harm. If nothing else they'll give you some good proftein and vitamins etc.

^_^ Thanks a relief. Being on antibiotics that long is so horrid for you anyway. From what I hear, there are more bacteria in your body than human cells cause of the size difference. Weird no?
Yeah that's true, and you need them. they help digest food, and they help scare off fungi like yeast. It might take a while for things to get back in balance again, time for the good ones to grow back and the bad ones to F off.
Someone suggested baby wipes, that's actually kind of a bad idea. It might be different for transwomen, but biowomen are always told to never use soap or antibacterial stuff near there. It kills off all the friendly bacteria and lets the bad ones and yeast take over. mikld soap on the hairy bits and plain water on the pink bits is what's recommended. does anyone know if it's specifically different for transwomen? maybe it's different if you are not making the secretions which were evolved for keeping a urethra hiding in the dark infection-free?
hey WOW, that sounds like you've found your cure. big-pharma's corperate drug machine saves the day again
If the problem comes back try looking at some of the advice given to biowomen who've had kids, a lot of it is probably applicable to anyone. the TV ads say something like 1/3 women have problems after childbirth. There are probably some websites out there for coping with it as a social issue as well.
