Title: Minor discomfort from HRT...down there
Post by: Flo on April 21, 2009, 04:26:33 PM
Hi all,

MtF here

After 2 - 3 months on Estrogel I have lately (last week or so) been experiencing a minor or annoying discomfort in the testicle area....sorry for my bluntness.  If you have another "word" tell me.

Is this common?  Hopefully.  Don't know if I am reacting sooner or it's the dose, which I won't publish, but have definitely notice changes, most good.

But this is a bit...uncomfortable...a bit like a squeeze if you get my drift.

Thanks!

Flo...Toronto

I don't know if it's common, but the cause is testicular atrophy, (shrinking) and yes, I know from 1st hand the feeling :|
I'm guessing it's "luck of the draw" if feeling the process happens or not, to be honest, I don't know
