dun-hill.livejournal.comdear friends!! i hyave some queries as i am planning to be operated but before that i have some queries..as you people are well informed so please help me.i am thankful to all you reply me.my first query is,
1- Pros, Cons, and Risks
The advantages of metoidioplasty are that it results in a natural looking (albeit small), erotically sensate penis. Since the clitoris is made of erectile tissue, the patient can achieve an unassisted erection when aroused. The procedure takes advantage of existing genital tissue, and doesn't leave visible scars on other parts of the body.
The disadvantages are that the resulting penis is usually quite small, and as such often cannot be used for penetration. It also may not be a good choice for a transman whose clitoris has not grown substantially as a result of testosterone therapy (most surgeons recommend being on testosterone therapy for at least 6 months to 2 years in order to maximize growth of the clitoris). And, as with any surgery, there are potential risks of complication, such as the extrusion of testicular implants, the formation of a stricture (an abnormal narrowing; blockage) or fistula (an abnormal connection; leakage) in the newly constructed urethral passage, and the usual potential problems of infection and tissue death (though tissue death is less common in metoidioplasty as compared to phalloplasty). One must also consider the usual risks of any surgery, including bleeding, infection, problems from anesthesia, blood clots, or death (rare).
Metoidioplasty procedures range in cost from about $2,000 (for clitoral release only) to $18,000 (including urethral extension and testicular implants), and perhaps more if hysterectomy/oophorectomy is performed at the same time. Fees will vary among surgeons.
When considering a metoidioplasty procedure, it is important to research the surgical options carefully and discuss them with the surgeons you are considering. Each surgeon has a different approach and technique, and some may offer an array of options, such as clitoris release only, different types of scrotoplasty or urethral lengthening, etc. Also, if you are unsure if you wish to have additional genital surgery (such as phalloplasty) in the future, discuss with your surgeon which procedures will leave you with the most options for later surgery.
now how can i know about the best surgeon?and what you people say about above said note.Is that really true or if any of you tell me that it's all gossip/ bogus?
to be very outspoken i will wish to get marreid but what if i there would be no penetration during sex then i think i would prefer to die rather living.
:((
so many problems my friends.please i wish i could get a good reply.:(
regards.
