Title: Hysto in Seattle?
Post by: groudon18 on January 20, 2017, 06:24:32 AM
Hi all, with current events I want to get a hysto or at least an ovary removal done as soon as I can. In addition to my own googling I was curious if anyone knew of surgeons in Seattle/WA who perform this with trans folks? Obviously there are tons of options for the average cis person... but I'm not quite sure about people in my position. Any information is helpful. thanks!

groudon18, do you have a therapist, ask him/her if they can give you names of transfriendly GYN.

I do and already plan on doing that, I've just got a lot of anxiety right now and I figured seeing some potential options would help me feel a little better

Depending on why you want them out, an OBGYN may require a WPATH style referral letter from a therapist. Mine wanted approval from my doctor and two mental health referrals because it was considered to be a bottom surgery procedure.
