Susan's Place Transgender Resources

So when I was a kid I always had alot of blatter infection so I where put on special threatment to make it stop with taking pills everyday for months. I didn't had it for many years and last year it started again where I had around 8 infections in autumn and I fear it may start again this year.

speaking beside that I am on T and do not have period anymore but back when I did I always felt alot of pain and used to take a huge amount of pills just to kill the pain while losing apatite and having diarrea. now when I dont have period anymore I dont feel pain or need to take medication so you can say T is my new medication.

anyway my dad say it normal to have alot of infection and his sister also got that untill she got pregnant. ("urg.. thanks dad" -__-)
I just started thining why I always have so much fuss with my lower part? I wondered if it transrelated or just me being unlucky.

I heard about some transwoman said many transgender get blatter problems because they cant go to the toilet. I guess it could play a part for the blatter thing not really sure of the period, what do you think?

Just unlucky. But I don't know why that would have anything to do with being trans. I see your argument, just don't buy this.

I suppose that if your body is in some way genetically or developmentally male as is your mind, there could be reasons for you to have issues.  It doesn't seem outside the realm of possibilities.  On the flip side, the issues you describe are present in cis-genderd women as well, so yes, you could just be unlucky.  It does sound horrible and an ordeal that no one should have to go through.

These problems are pretty common, unpleasant but common.

pms is pretty common in women. that pain probably has to do with how your body responds to the hormones released during those days. stomach problems are also common with or without pain killers.

problems with your bladder is not related to trans or cis as far as i know. both men and women have these problems, and it's mostly to do with your immune system, but infections can also be related to intimate contact with another person. the body is weaker to bacteria it hasn't encountered before. drinking enough, using the toilet regularly, and keeping warm are some ways of preventing those infections. some people are also unlucky and have the wrong genes. hrt might have upset your immune system and made you more susceptible to infections for a while, for all we know, but that's not really trans related. there are more than enough other medication that can mess up your body in unpleasant ways.

some std's can cause similar symptoms. worth checking out if you have been careless once, even if it's been a while.

I know I don't have STD or anything they have checked me for that.
my doctor tried to make a scan to figure out why I kept having infections but they never figured out the reasons.

then it's just your immune system acting up for some reason or other. impossible to tell what unless you're a psychic, science hasn't gotten far enough yet to understand everything. all you can do is try your best not to disturb the balance down there unnecessarily, and keep warm, healthy, all that.
