and, probably the most interesting thing I have read so far about uteruses:

source

"the uterus is only for making babies and if I don't want to have babies I actually don't need it and they can just cut it out" is really just medical misogyny but you aren't ready for that conversation

So when you have a total hysterectomy, it sends you into sudden menopause. So far this hasn't been bad for me -- I've been in a good place mentally and emotionally -- but the hot flashes are no joke. Worse because it's been very chilly by Hawaii standards, so my skin will be freezing but internally I'll be a blast furnace. Hormone replacement therapy should help that, and I'm looking forward to the other side effects.

A common question: are the orgasms different? Everyone's bodies are different, but in my case? Nope. Just as good.

Me watching “feminists” argue that I shouldn’t have my right to decide to get an organ covered in non-cancerous tumors removed bc I might have the magical experience of childbirth (unlikely bc of the tumors) and then claim that they’re totally not aligned with Christian fascists even tho that is exactly what Christian fascists have said to me: 👁️👁️

Actually, nobody said that you can't perform a procedure critical to your health. If you need a hysterectomy, you need a hysterectomy! It is absolutely necessary if your health is impacted, regardless of any desire or ability to have children.

My original post never mentioned that women shouldn't get medically necessary hysterectomies because they could possibly have children. My post was on non-medically necessary hysterectomy. I was saying that I'd a woman doesn't have children, she shouldn't automatically jump to getting her uterus removed. Almost like removing an organ for no medical reason is dangerous and unhealthy! There are other options for women like that, like tubal ligation. It's just because women have grown to see themselves as a collective of parts that they are now wanting to remove healthy organs for no reason other than not wanting children. We almost never see men doing this, cutting themselves up for non-medically necessary reason.

Anyways, liberal women stop misinterpreting things they don't understand! Just because you're too stupid doesn't mean you should take everything like an attack (like your ask!)!

so this is just something i just now realized by looking through my health records - apparently, as part of the whole process of my hysterectomy, i was diagnosed with "dual role transvestism"??? even though that's clearly untrue when you look up the term? like i have been on T for over 6 years and i pass completely as cis and literally the hysto itself was a gender affirming surgery. my surgeon told me, even, that the reason on file for the surgery would be gender dysphoria. why on earth would i be diagnosed with basically "part time crossdresser" wergfbdwe

my best guess is that someone just straight up misclicked or something bc it makes no sense lol but has anyone else ever had this happen to them??

Psa that when a transmasc only gets one surgery or only wants one surgery, that may not necessarily be top surgery. Personally i like my boobs and wanna keep them. But i would like to have a penis or at least some bottom growth. A lot of people think all trans guys want top surgery and all trans guys dont want bottom surgery. This isnt true. We're all different. Also, gender affirming surgery isnt exclusively bottom and top surgery. It can also be hysterectomy or ffs or [insert name for the adams apple being shaven down, i forgot the term sorry] as well as other things. If it affirms your gender, it is gender affirming.

I have had a hysterectomy and lemme tell y’all smthn real quick about my experience.

Pros:

No babies.

No period.

Less dysphoria.

Better mental health literally immediately.

Cons:

No drinking/smoking for set amount of time each. (I use cbd for pain and that is not allowed during Big Pain Meds, after which I can have supplements but not carts)

No sexual anything for set amount of time (both external and internal for different amounts of time).

Body requires so much fucking calories and liquids. Get high calorie food and drinks. You will thank me. It’s annoying how often I have to eat.

For the first 24 hours after discharge I could feel the empty space where the removed tissue once resided. This is a wild experience as my body attempts to adjust to the new space and everything fights to take up as much of it as possible, as if they ascribe to Manifest Destiny.

Currently (day 19) suffering the third day of my belly button nerve being triggered from the inside by my shifting organs. This feels like I still have the ghost of my umbilical chord attached and it’s attempting to pierce me and suck out my insides but it hasn’t figured out the sucking thing yet, as well as it’s made of ghost so it’s just… touching the nerves in a ghostly way. Tartarus hath found me before my soul has left mine body and teases me with what is yet to come.

Farting. So much farting. Also, constipation is the worst. Take your anti constipation stuff. It’s not worth shitting rocks.

Will update with more Fun Facts as they come!

I really think we need to start talking about the stigma around hysterectomies and their place in the treatment for the symptoms of endometriosis.

Something I see often is the phrase 'hysterectomies don't cure endometriosis', which is very true, but do you know what a hysterectomy can cure?

Pain.

And you know the pain I'm talking about. The gnawing, all encompassing agony that surrounds our entire lives. The one that keeps you from going back to school, or uses up all of your sick days and vacation time from work combined, the one that leaves you dry heaving for hours until you pass out on the bathroom floor. That pain. There's truly no describing what it's like until you're living it.

And I cannot describe to you how free I feel knowing I will never have to suffer through that ever again.

If we continue to talk about our pain journeys we can end the stigma against hysterectomies. It will never be a cure-all, but remember that you are not a baby machine, you are a human being who deserves to live pain free. And I'm telling you, it's possible.

#endometriosis #hysterectomy #adenomyosis #chronic illness #chronic pain #i was discussing this with my doctor #theyre finally studying hysterectomies relating to pain #and the amount of people who experience pain post surgery #is like less than 0.1%#i like those odds #and i feel so fucking good you guys #i haven't had a period in over two months #TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!!#NEVER AGAIN!

I figured it's time I talk about my surgical transition experience. There's plenty of false narratives out there and I want to counter what I can with truth and personal experience.

The first procedure I received this year in late January was a transvaginal ovarian-hysterectomy. That means they cut out my uterus and ovaries (and the connecting fallopian tubes) without making any abdominal incisions (removed through the vagina). I'd had a consultation with the surgeon performing the operation a few months prior where we discussed any concerns and went over potential side effects as well as specifying I wanted my ovaries removed as well. When the day of the procedure came I went to the hospital, the nurses were really kind and I got to see the surgeon again one last time for any last minute concerns before I went into the surgical suite.

Waking up post surgery I was elated to learn the surgery had gone super smoothly, the surgeon said I'd lost less than a teaspoon of blood. I stayed in hospital for the remainder of the day and ended up going home around 9pm. They'd given me a pain meds prescription, and that kept things during recovery at a quiet 2-3 on the pain scale. Most of what I felt was a general soreness in the area, it was a lot like the sensation of period cramps. It took only 3 weeks before I felt pretty much 100% I still wasn't fully healed but by then there wasn't any pain, even slight.

Now I'm just nearing the end of my 2 month full recovery time and I'm clear to have penetrative sex. The worst part of the recovery I'd say was the basically instant menopause I had to go through for a while. The hot flashes were the worst, get a fan for yourself if you're planning on getting this procedure.

The end of February is when I got my second procedure, a double masectomy aka top surgery. Normally transition surgeries wouldn't be so close together in timeline but I had school starting in May but I couldn't emotionally afford to wait until the semester is over to get the surgery done. Additionally, political circumstances also lead to me making the decision to push up the date of my surgery, I was terrified that if I was to wait another year that it might be illegal by then.

Similar to the first operation, I'd had a consultation appointment several months prior that addressed any questions and concerns to help me decide if the procedure was right for me. I was way less nervous this time around because I'd already been through one surgery and had a better idea of what to expect in terms of pain and recovery.

The experience of check-in and preparation for the second surgery was pretty much the same as the first with one exception, I decided to forego the nipple grafts last minute (and I don't regret the decision. less risk of complication/infection, I wouldn't likely retain sensation, getting nipple tattoos instead gives me direct control over size and shape) so I had to meet with the surgeon beforehand the day of. My direct input was accommodated and my questions answered the day of, it was awesome.

I went under anesthesia feeling a sense of peace that I'd wake up feeling more like myself than I had since before puberty. I'm a month recovered now and I'm just so pleased with the results! The pain was so worth it!

Feel free to ask respectful questions about my experiences.

I Survived What I Was Told Did Not Exist

(Reblogs always appreciated!)

(Image ID: a purple humanoid sheep floating in front of a pale green background. Their head is tilted back and hands held to their chest, a swirling white breath leaving them. On their abdomen is a hole in the shape of a uterus that passes clean through them. Surrounding them is swirling tear-drop lines dripping down towards their hooves, the colors shifting from a pale yellow, orange, and pink, mirrored along each of their limbs. End ID)

I want to wake up nauseated, confused, and in a lot of pain in a post anesthesia care unit.

For a long time I drift in and out of consciousness, moaning groggily about the dawning pain in my swollen abdomen. My incoherent cries join those of ten or so other women who are waking up to the unpleasant post surgical realities of sore throats from being intubated, sharp plastic tubes up pee holes, and the start of wicked gas pains against hysterectomy incisions. I notice sort of distantly that the woman behind the curtain next to me is sobbing and begging for pain meds and hope that my own pain levels don't get that bad.

I don't take anesthesia well so I'm down for the count in recovery for a while. Every once in a while I come back to consciousness just enough to remember the hysterectomy I've been planning for months is over and that's why I'm lying here in a hospital bed, moaning about the pain in my belly and the rough feeling in my vagina. I cry when I'm jostled as they remove the catheter.

My wife later tells me that I moan and cry the entire time the medical team helps me into my mesh underwear and my street clothes to go home. It's still shocking to me that 5 hours after my gynecological organs were sliced out of my vagina guided by a camera through my belly button that my bloated and barely coherent body is being loaded into a cab to recover from major abdominal surgery from home.

I lay in my wife's arms and cry the whole excruciating way downtown. The four incisions in my abdomen have become very apparent and the ominous pain deep inside my belly is getting worse by the minute. The gas pains come so sharp I can't help but cry out "it hurts!" every couple of blocks. I'm painfully aware of every bump and when the cabbie hits a particularly bad pothole, I suddenly feel my poor, eviscerated insides slam against my belly and, inexplicably, my entire vagina alights in agony.

"BE CAREFUL, I JUST HAD A HYSTERECTOMY!"

I cry incoherently, holding my puffy, aching belly, until we get home. I feel like my insides are going to fall out of my vagina as I walk into the house.

My wife is finally able to settle me in a comfortable position and put ice packs on my swollen belly and vagina. I'm so dizzy, barely clinging to consciousness, as she tries to get me my meds and some food. I can sense she's desperate to bring me around a little bit more.

But the gas pains are SO BAD. I can feel every internal stitch on my vaginal cuff incision because of the air bloating my belly. The best solution, walking, makes me want to cry. I'm in so much pain I can't imagine moving.

When I finally do make it to the toilet to take my first of many post surgery pees, I cry out when I sit and my vagina is hanging down over the toilet. It burns inside and, frankly, feels like I just got roughly fucked. Which I did, albeit with two weighted speculums.

I'm bleeding pretty badly into the mesh panties the hospital provided but I just let my wife change the pad because I'm so groggy and in so much pain she practically has to carry me to bed. I moan in gratitude as she places a heating pad on my aching belly and an ice pack in between my legs.

My pain remains uncontrolled all night -- I'm sure the neighbors loved me screaming "oh God, the gas hurts so bad" at the top of my lungs at 2am -- and I wake in the morning bleeding heavily and so sore I'm unable to get myself out of bed. My vagina is on fire and I still feel like my organs are going to fall into my underwear. When the gas pain comes it grips me to point where all I can do is fold myself over my screaming belly and pray it passes before I pass out from the pain.

Turns out having your gynecological organs sliced out hurts, no matter which way you do it.
