Trans Men .......

I came across this article and thought I would post it in case it helps someone.

Visiting a gyno is a very challenging thing for a lot of trans men. It can inspire a lot of anxiety and dysphoria. But Buck is spot on about something that affects transmasculine folks, even after years of transition: the intense, seemingly inexplicable pelvic pain.

 

Testosterone almost immediately causes you to stop ovulating and menstruating. As a result, your reproductive system isn't in use. Like any organ (if it were to be suddenly cut off or shut down) it starts to atrophy after an extended period of disuse. Buck's case is extreme but more common than people think, and he is exactly right that gynecologists don't know how to treat it. That ignorance is borne out of a lack of information about trans men and what they need.

 

I have had this exact problem and as a result am having my hysterectomy in a month. Luckily, mine didn't rupture like his, but the pain is similar. I also had the experience of going to multiple doctors, having multiple pap smears and scans, and being told that I was imagining the pain. (One doctor believed I was inventing the pain as a way to gain access to surgery.) It wasn't until just two months ago that I finally found a doctor who was versed enough in trans care to know I was telling the truth.

 

I highly encourage any and all trans men who even think they're experiencing the same thing to have it checked out. Yes, it sucks going to the gyno, but do not let minor cramps escalate into debilitating pain. Take care of yourselves, boys!

This may not be for everyone on this Forum so stop reading if this thread isn't your thing.

 

A couple of days ago I was with a young trans guy (about 23...?) with whom I had some play that edged toward the "energetic" (his request) and he bled a tiny bit inside. He got really upset and disappeared to the bathroom for a few minutes. When he returned he said 1) this hadn't happened in over a year (he has been taking hormones longer than that), and, 2) he hated his body. I assured him that it was likely the result of my overly-aggressive play rather than something systemic. I'm not sure he was convinced and remained fairly subdued the rest of the night and next morning.

Question: if someone remains on hormones and hasn't menstruated in over a year is it possible it would reoccur? I'd like to see him again and will take it easy but would like to know a little bit more about this.

It is possible for someone to bleed from injury (doesn't sound like a period), and it's nobody's fault: it's just that a lot of trans men experience dysphoria about their genitals and that might prevent them from learning how to take better care of themselves during sex. In some men who are on testosterone, the lining of our reproductive organs can sometimes weaken, which makes it more prone to tearing during rough sex. This is especially true if you're one of those guys for whom testosterone has made it harder to get wet down there. A good lubricant can take care of that.

 

This happened to me last year, with a client who did not stop, so I want to thank you for being so sensitive towards your escort. It sounds like that's what happened to him, it's definitely no one's fault, and he'll probably be alright. You two will have to work out how rough you can get.

 

I'm happy to answer questions if you have any! When I'm not a gainfully employed hoe, I do a lot of activist work, including educating trans men on their sexual health. If you have a question, I probably have the answer.
