I was wondering about phalloplasty (with vaginectomy and scrotoplasty) but without UL. Does this cause urinary issues or an increase in UTI's? I am not sure if there is much information out there.

I ask because as much as I would like to get UL, I have had some issues with kidney stones and catheters in the past. I'm wondering for my overall well-being if it makes more sense for me to forego UL.

Any insight or research/info/articles would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I was in the same boat as you were at one time. Now I actually have less UTIs and I have not had kindney stone issues since my Urethra lengthening procedure.

The sources you'd want are the two at the very bottom of the page

I have a birth defect which makes my kidneys not work properly, it's a rare disorder, I have been in the hospital for them more times than I'd like to...

I have been making sure I drink at least two cups of water a day.

I had to have my catheter removed shortly after two weeks (they wanted six), but two weeks is the minimum for healing period, and typically clinics now have you only keep them in for three weeks.

Having my catheter removed early was because 1. I tugged on the catheter and it became dislodged from its position, I started to urinate through my penis and around the catheter. This is not good, this is go to the ER right now. Most of the time the doctors there can make you comfortable with the catheter still in, they can usually flush and they can reposition. This can make things comfortable. I had a urine bag break and I did not have a replacement on me towards the end of a week and a half after coming home, this led to me having a bladder infection which was why I personally insisted they remove the catheter. They will call your surgeon and get details to make sure you are okay, or they are okay to remove your catheter. Lastly they did not give me any antibiotics for the trip home (clinic made an error).

I have less issues with my urinary tract than I did before my UL procedure.

feel free to check out the links at the bottom if you've already read my article on the urethra lengthening Procedure.

A great resource is GRS Montreal (link is at the bottom of the article I sent you). They are very transparent and informative about these procedures.

Thank you for the question. I hope I gave you what you needed, but feel free to ask more if I didn't give you what you needed.

Stay Golden ✌️ 💙 💜

Can a character survive to torture up to 6 days? The yorture involves mainly sleep depravation and inconfortable position. I know the last one provokes kidney failure .

This question is actually if the effects or consenquences of torture are corect. My character has supernatural powers like instant healing, or faster regenarative abilities, but i still write the torture as if they are mere human. They are kept in stress position+sleep depravation. I want to know if its ok to write their fibger and toes swelling? And the skin cracking bc of it or something similar. And kindney failure and muscle atrophy.

Stress positions aren’t just ‘uncomfortable’. I appreciate that the wording here could be because English is a second language but, let’s be clear: all torture causes extreme pain.

Don’t downplay that with your choice of words.

The destruction of most major muscles over several hours and organ failure is serious. If you can’t treat the pain torture causes seriously then I’d suggest you don’t write torture.

Stress positions, by their nature, cause sleep deprivation. Victims are held continuously in the stress position for a long period of time, usually at least 24 hours. During that period victims can’t sleep.

Stress positions, if used continuously, start to become lethal after 48 hours. Death is not instant and the ultimate cause of death is kidney failure.

While I believe it is technically possible for someone to be kept in a stress position until their kidneys fail and still live I have never heard of it happening. I also think it would be incredibly unlikely, almost impossible.

The reason I think that is because survival after that point would require getting expert medical attention quickly. Torturers routinely deny victims even basic medical care. So in a torture scenario the chances of a character being rushed to a dialysis machine are extremely low.

Torturers just don’t do that sort of thing.

If your character is rescued and rushed to a hospital I still wouldn’t recommend describing them as being in a stress position for over 60 hours.

You’ve clearly done some reading but I’m left wondering what you actually want from this scenario.

Because you mention that the character has supernatural healing abilities and then say that you want to write this as if the character doesn’t have healing abilities.

If you want the character to have magic powers then I can’t tell you when that magic power reaches its limit. If the character has magic kidneys I can’t tell you when they’d fail.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a character survive due to magic, so long as it’s clear that’s what’s happening.

If the character doesn’t have magic powers then your time frame is three times the survivable time limit.

I do think there’s something wrong with underestimating the damage torture does. Especially when the tortures you’ve picked are ‘clean’ techniques, which don’t leave obvious external scars.

These tortures are often portrayed as harmless or the physical damage they do is severely underestimated. This feeds in to apologist arguments that clean tortures are not ‘real tortures’ and it makes it harder for survivors to be taken seriously when they don’t have obvious scars.

The majority of torture nowadays is clean. That means the majority of survivors do not have obvious scars.

They are already put under immense pressure to ‘prove’ they survived. They are doubted, belittled and told that their symptoms are fake.

Do you want to add to that?

If you want your character to survive six days in a stress position then I would suggest making it completely clear it’s because they’re magic. Because otherwise your story is saying that torture is a lot less harmful then it is.

Beyond that-

With most stress positions swelling is unlikely to happen at the arms/hands. That’s because of what causes the swelling.

The stress position itself puts muscles under intense strain. This causes muscle cells to die in large numbers. This releases (among other things) an awful lot of fluid. The fluid causes the swelling. It essentially just- obeys gravity. It goes to the extremities and the lowest point in the victim’s body.

Whether it’s a standing, sitting or crouching stress position that lowest point is almost always the feet.

Other areas are possible, but the hands are unlikely.

The swelling is not limited to the toes, or indeed the foot. It can (and sometimes does) extend some distance up the leg. Typically it’s concentrated below the knee with the biggest size difference at the ankle area. (I’m basing that on my own observation of photos showing this condition in non-torture contexts. This does occur naturally as part of several diseases.)

The swelling tends to look spongy in texture and it takes on a bruised colouration. The effected area can swell considerably, sometimes to two or three times it’s normal size.

And yes this can lead to the skin splitting.

However it doesn’t normally look like a ‘crack’ or a tear.

You’ve probably had a mouth ulcer before. That is what it looks like, a bigger mouth ulcer. An ulcer several inches across.

They often weep puss, which is pale and can be yellowish. Functionally they’re an open wound which is vulnerable to infection. Especially if the torturers haven’t put the victim in a diaper.

Rounding this off I’d suggest taking some time to think about what the most important element of this scenario is for you.

If you want the character to survive six days while healing at an ordinary rate then they wouldn’t be tortured constantly. There would be periods of abuse and periods of rest in between. That’s how people survive months or years imprisoned with torturers.

If swelling or damage to the hands is important then I’d suggest looking through the tags on ‘fingermilking’ and considering it as an alternative to stress positions.

If using stress positions is important then I’d suggest taking some more time to look through previous asks on the subject. You might also want to consult O’Mara’s Why Torture Doesn’t Work for a more indepth discussion of stress positions and sleep deprivation.

I hope that helps. :)

is it possible for adhd meds to cause problems related to ears & hearing? I've been on Concerta for abt 3 years + Ritalin for 9 months & since last winter I've been having problems w hearing, earaches, headaches & tinnitus. idk what else could be causing it. I sent an ask to an adhd blog a few wks ago & haven't gotten an answer yet. I have a dr.'s appointment so I can ask later this month, but I'd rather be able to do something to stop or at least control it now bc it's making school hard

Hi,

I must stress that we are not medical professionals and therefore I can’t quarantee this answer. I googled your meds and while they have lot of possible side effects, hearing related troubles are not one of them.

The medication that can cause deafness are usually meds for kindneys or fever reducing drugs (like aspirin, ibuprofen). Also certain types of antibiotics and drugs for erectile disfunction and drugs for highblood pressure. And of course, certain drugs for treating cancer.

Hearing loss doesnt have to be caused by medication. You can be sick (some kind of virus, for example), it can be spine troubles, it can be because of loud enviroment and stress. Since you say your ears hurt you, I don’t think its medication. It could be some kind of ear infection. But again, I am not a doctor, so who knows.

I think you should go see your doctor as soon as possible.

Hi it's me again, your friendly neighborhood hot mess of a writer/friend/sleepless human. 31 should be up today-so sorry I've kept you waiting so long. I'm on post-vacation blues mode still, and I sent 3 kids home with fevers this week along with 2 of my parents being in the hospital-one with the flu and the other a kindney infection. What a week! (Also I'm going to pick up apartment furniture this morning 🎉) Anyway, thanks for your support and your love and your chatting with me-I'm blessed to know all of you wonderful, lovely, supportive human beings.

I feel like i’ve been broken so many times. When i look back, it feels like those past 3 years have been nothing but fighting.

I’ve fought my way back from depression and broken heart for months, and months. I’ve fought against the beliefs that other people had put into me, fought my way to break free from other people expectations. I’ve fought so long to let the memory of her go. I’ve fought against my own mind to try to heal from eating disorders and self harm. I’ve fought to figure out who I wanted to be, even though it meant to give up people on this journey. I’ve fought against my body, when I was at the hospital for severe kindney infections - twice ; i’ve fought doctors, and i’m still trying to find peace with my pcos diagnosis. I’ve fought for him to stay, and it was probably a mistake. I’ve fought my way through deep buried trauma, i faced my deepest fears and darkest nightmares with you. I’ve fought to try to build myself a professional life. I’ve fought all the inconviences reality threm at me in 2019 - broken car, canceled planes in India, shitty boss during the summer, hacked credit card in september, all our Greece adventures, all the delays and money issues I endured in December. I’ve fought all i had to try to make us work. I’ve fought for you.

And I can’t take it anymore. I’ve been broken and I always did my best to rise again. I’ve been heart broken, and I tried to trust love over and over again. I just can’t take it anymore.

Of course there were great joys - great people on the way, the infinite beauty of the Himalaya, the amazing training with amazing souls in Chamonix, climbing days outside, blue sky, the golden greek happiness, becoming a yoga teacher. And of course I’ve learnt A LOT about myself, about resilience, about recovery, about the beauty and strenght of the human soul, about adulting and dealing with reality. Of course there are always lessons to be learnt on the way. Of course i won’t be the person I am today without most of those events.

But I can’t take it anymore. I’m tired of people telling this is a chance to learn, a chance to evolve and grow. But growth can also happen in happiness. All lessons don’t have to be painful all the time.

I’m tired of fighting. I’m tired of being broken. I’m tired of rising to be damaged again. I’m not asking for easy things - i can face risk and uncertainty, but I’m tired of being disappointed and hurt. I’m tired of making dreams that can never happen and of trusting people who always leave in the end.

Can you hear me Universe ? I’ve fought all the battles you threw my way. I recovered from depression, suicidal thoughts, panicks attacks, boulimia, self harm. I did the work. I reached for help when I needed it. I made peace with the people I couldn’t change. I let go of the people I loved most but who were bad for me. I forgave myself for the things I didn’t know before I learnt them. I found my way to be a yoga teacher. I found the courage to keep loving people, to spread the love and kindness despite how bad i’ve been hurt. I forgave myself for not healing completly from the sexual assault. I’ve fought against my old thinking patterns and learnt to love myself and my imperfection. I learnt that vulnerability is the only way to connect and I learnt to express my needs and emotions. I learnt to take care of the sad and lost girl inside of me. And it’s hard, especially under the lockdown, it’s hard but i’m trying. I never stopped trying.

I’m proud of myself. But it seems that I don’t get any reward for trying and trying and trying. 2019 was a hell of a fight, and 2020 is the biggest wordlwide crisis ever - but it tastes like heartbreak and lost love. And it feel so unfair. It feels so unfair. It feels so fuckin unfair i want to scream and punch everything until my hands bleed.

Why would you happen to me to break me that bad after a few months ? Why ? Where did I make a mistake ? Why did I trust you and our story, why did i have this powerful gut feeling that we were made for each other ?

I am so tired.
