Hi i know this topic may be crazy but i wanted to see if anyone else may have had this problem. I contracted an std(gonorrhea). Yes i know embarassing to discuss. I have tried. Several times to combat this problem but the symptoms still persist. Recently in Feb i noticed the return of prominent veins as well as some manly features. I have been on hrt since june of. 2011 up until this incident i had became very comfortable with my self, for the firsrt time in my life i was confident with my self. Well since february i have been dealing with this defeminzation and i know its the std i have had bloodwork done ct scan nd xray everything came back normal. So now i dont know where to turn i am still trying my best to get the infection cured in order for my hormones to start back working correctly again i know this sounds crazy but i have researched the internet for weeks searching for someone who may. Have encountered the same problem i have. Now i have just about giving up everyone makes mistakes but i never knew this would have such a big impact on my health. I pray to god that this will be cured. And everything returns to normal. I just dont know but this all started with this infection. I just wish this was a dream and i would wake up because i miss my feminine body now i dont go anywhere anymore in fear of not passing. I wish someone could help me.

Hi Gab 

Welcome to Susan's      I am not a medical practitioner nor have I had gonorrhea, but as far as I understand gonorrhea is fairly easy to cure with the proper antibiotics and should not interfere with your HRT

The best recommendation I can give is to consult your Dr. and if a break in your HRT regimen is necessary then do so

Curing the STD should take prominence and anything else should be secondary

Never heard of anyone getting a ct scan or x-ray for gonorrhea

Hi V M    When i said i had a ct scan and xray done to see if there is anything else that could be causing my hormones to not function.

Hi

Could be any number of details with out kinowing all the facts i would not be able to say much .

what i will say is this will depend on the meds  you are takeing  HRT, type & dose rate & how many in the mix ,

the other  meds you are takeing again   type & dose rate,

Now im not saying this is happening ,  though does with many meds iv worked with over many years will interact with each other & say youv been takeing one for say at least 6 to  9 months & you start takeing another one it could effect the first one & in some detail over ride the first one hence you have an interaction .

There could be an interaction in your body that will not allow your body to use the meds & will not  work & the body rejects those meds, ,

Allso there is  a difference between men &  women as to how some meds work or dont  , okay it starts to get more complecated so ill stop here,

Allso your body can mutate & change meds that can shut down certain functions that work normaly .

Most STD's can normaly be cleared up with antiboicts  , allso could be something else.   a blood test would or a swob may show something ,

sorry i cant help more . though if you wont to email me please do, oh . when was the last time you had a blood test . say   just after you contracted STD's, & when before
