"There's debate out there about whether or not testosterone hinders the healing process. Neither of my surgeons felt particularly strongly about this and simply recommended abstaining for 2 weeks pre-op, then resuming normally post-op. Seemed reasonable to me."Only difference"... that's not entirely true. Yes, ovaries are shrunken. There's also the chance of vaginal atrophy, making a vaginal procedure more difficult (or inadvisable) for some guys. (If your consult was about a total lap procedure that might explain why vaginal atrophy wasn't mentioned.)"No serious risk factors being trans"... I hope not, that's what I'm trying to find out. I do think that we're different from female patients seeking a hysto, and I question a surgeon's expertise with trans health if they assert that there's no difference. Menopausal women or women on androgen therapy aren't taking the kinds of T dosages that trans men are on, so this comparison can only go so far." - Trans Man
