Here are some basic facts:
- method was penile inversion
- I opted for full-depth rather than a vulvoplasty
- surgery took 3 hours, though recovery took another hour
- I went under general anaesthesia and had to be intubated and put on a ventilator
- I’m currently admitted in the hospital and bed bound, discharge is scheduled for Friday
- so far pain is between 1 and 3 for me, most of the time it’s between a 0 and 1.
Ask me anything!
Hows it feel to not having a thing touching your inner thigh, constantly? Although i guess theres probably something there from the hospital 😅
post orchi not having testes was a huge benefit for that - but the empty scrotum would still slap the thighs and make me feel nauseated and upset whenever that happened.
I am on bed rest so I’m not allowed to walk or get out of bed until Friday, so I have no idea yet how walking feels - I am very much looking forward, though - that was one of the biggest sources of genital dysphoria and I can’t wait for it to be gone. I remember post-orchi saying “every step brings joy” because walking used to cause dysphoria and suddenly I could walk differently and feel so much better.
Wait until you lie on your tummy in bed for the first time!
Not OP, but i can say 2 years post op it feels weird to think I used to have something there lol
