A Brutally Honest Hysterectomy Q+A | FTM

I woke up after my hysterectomy and opened youtube and this was the first video on my feed 😂

I transitioned in 2000. I'm 51 now and only got around to having my hysterectomy last year. I experience hot flushes and night sweats at first but they did improve over time. Anti- depressants have helped. My gender consultant said that increasing testosterone levels might help. Unfortunately this is not an option for me as it has had nasty side effects. Sorry you are not getting the care you need. You do have the right to register with another practice. I did and what a huge difference in the standard of care I get. It's one of the best things I did. If you are LGBT my doctors practice is the way to go. They have a positive and knowledgeable attitude towards trans people. I'm very lucky.

Ahhhh shooty butt pains! I used to get those when I had periods, I totally forgot they existed! And thanks for answering my question. Also I've been deliberating over keeping an ovary because of hormone shortages since Brexit so that is really really great insight without even considering the menopause side of things. I'm getting my referral very soon so this video was perfectly timed and really helpful, thank you!

It’s good to know I’m not the only trans masc with the pelvic pain. I don’t live in a very trans health informed place, and my gyno doesn’t think surgery will help, but the pain is constant, distracting, and getting worse even though estrogen cream and increasing the dosage does seem to help some. Nice to know having everything removed made it stop hurting so much.

Cats always have perfect timing.

Thank you for sharing your story and for being so clear with the pros and cons. "What Fresh Hell is This" by Heather Corinna is a really amazing book that covers everything mono-pause in a gender neutral (and quite entertaining!) way. Heather covers a wide range of symptoms, remedies and issues, and as a trans individual, they have a much more approachable way of talking about meno-pause in transmen, women, and all! (I get the butt pains on my period! They're HORRIBLE, I'm often found collapsed on the bathroom floor by my partner!)

This was insanely valuable! Im currently trying to figure out which surgery I want to get first, and how to make that happen. I think I have to figure out which will be more relieving for me, top surgery or a hysterectomy. A hysterectomy might give me a mental sigh of relief due to not having the risk of pregnancy, it costs less to get, and I dont have to continue taking birth control (which has historically messed with my head), but getting top surgery would make it so I wouldnt have to worry about my chest all the time, whether Im being misgendered because of it, and feeling more freedom in how I move in the world. I wish I didnt have to choose like this. Thank you, though. I feel far more informed!

Ever since my hysto, my bladder has to be pretty full before I will even feel the urge to pee anymore! Olive TOTALLY made me smile hanging off the arm of the couch!! 😄❤

Im currently recoving from a hysterectomy this video just come up, i kid you not, thank you and yes i have an answer to those shooting bum pains 😭

This was very interesting and informative. Thanks for the video!

Did you have your estrogen levels checked ever? And do you know for sure that your testosterone dose is high enough. Everyone needs estrogen, and cis men produce it out of the excess of testosterone they have. If you don't have ovaries anymore and your T is not high enough, or your body is just bad at making E from T I could be that you just do not have enough estrogen. I came back to your channel because a Dutch TERF is a tiktok with clips from this video for her agenda. I am sorry you have been let down by the medical system so much, happy to see you are back.

I seem to remember a video you did that had you drawing a pregnant man and you said "I regret my hysterectomy"

in which clinic you did it please?

You remind me of Winnie the Pooh in the best way 🫶
