#ectropionized

[transmonstera]

PLEASE READ BELOW

Hi! I am a UK based trans artist and writer looking to pursue a private hysterectomy. I run an Etsy store (you may even have one of my stickers or badges!) and work part time but am still struggling to save much of anything towards surgery due to debt, living costs, etc so I’m looking for a little bit of help!

The reason I am pursuing a hysterectomy now is due to having cervical ectropion. This condition is where the cervix is essentially inside out and causes bleeding and excruciating pain. Frustratingly enough the treatment for this condition worked for all of two weeks before returning straight back to how it used to be. Cervical ectropion is aggravated by fluctuating hormone levels, particularly estrogen, so if I was to ever experience atrophy and seek treatment for that it would only make my ectropion far worse. The NHS does not offer hysterectomies for this condition due to them deeming it “a harmless condition”. Funnily enough the only procedure they approve of to “treat” this is a tubal ligation which has nothing to do with the cervix (make it make sense). 

I could attempt to get a hysterectomy through my GIC (Nottingham), however their communication is abysmal, I get one appointment a year with them and I cannot sit by and wait for the topic to come up on their terms, they never even spoke to me about top surgery (after telling me they would) leaving me to get that privately too, and I think even if they do approve a referral it’d take far too long and I would have little control in the situation. I simply cannot be in this pain for however long they wish to take to help me. Especially with how things are going for trans healthcare.

So I’m looking to get it privately. I have been recommended Mr Saurabh Phadnis with Nuffield Health in London due to him approving hysterectomies for many reasons and getting rid of everything you wish to remove and not just the bare minimum. I would like to go with him as I wish to remove everything including the cervix. My GP is happy to do a referral for him, so it is literally just a case of getting the funds. I was quoted an estimate of roughly £9000. I’m not going to ask for people to send me that amount as I know it is a huge sum to ask for. I’m hoping to raise as much as I can by about January/February time (through donations, etsy sales, and anything I can spare from my part time job) and look at taking out a loan for whatever is left over and if I can save even a third of the full amount that would help immensely.

A hysterectomy would truly change everything. I don’t want to take depo injections for the rest of my life, I don’t want to be in pain anymore and I don’t want to bleed randomly throughout the day because I dared to go for a walk. This is not just for transition purposes, this is so I can live without fear of further pain, more bleeding, being unable to treat potential atrophy because of an existing condition, HPV, cervical cancer, pregnancy scares etc.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT i just tried putting a tampon in for the first time at the ripe old age of almost-20 and it’s one of the worst things that’s ever happened to me???? it hurt so fucking much holy fuck. i took it back out almost immediately, it was so uncomfortable. why do so many women choose to do this to themselves

I've never used a tampon bc scary but I've just never really understood why that would be your first choice and why it's the most common choice. I always used pads and while they may not be the most secure, they're comfy and dont require insertion so they were always my first choice (never used anything else). lichrally why would you choose this!!! they're so horrible they need to be abolished tbh

Ectropion (drooping Eyelids)

Ectropion is a condition in which your eyelid ,the lower lid turns out. This leaves the inner eyelid surface exposed and prone to irritation. Ectropion is more common in older adults.

[wiihtigo]

"Ghufran is a disabled 8-year-old in Gaza. She has a life-threatening skin disorder called icthyosis. She also has ectropion, meaning her eyelids are turned inside out bc of her tight skin. She can't blink or close her eyes." (copied from original fundraising post)

Ghufrans donations have stalled for a few days but shes very close to her goal!

As of June 19th 2024, shes at:

$43,542 raised of $50,000 goal

with just a bit more of a push I think she can reach her goal very soon

[despazito]

anyway i wish ectropion/entropion were taken much more seriously as faults in pedigree dogs because i guarantee if you had to live with either of these eye malformations you'd really not enjoy having it!!

[shrimp-pose-alpha]

Oh yeah here’s my carnage design and a really crappy drawing I made to celebrate RB’s release date anniversary (I made this yesterday btw but I forgot to post it here lol)

Also credits to fugolikesstrawberriesv3 on TikTok for the eye reference for carnage. I could not have drawn ptosis and ectropion without out it lol

[m1keville]

flesh head Roger with ectropion….. hmmmm yes yes yes *rubs hands together and grins like an evil villain*

[notsoblackandwhite101]

SO I have been rewatching some episodes and I realized something I hadn't before and, well, I made a little oppsie. So I actually thought Dante's eyes, like the pink part, was natural Ectropion. A common condition in dogs where the lower eyelids droop or roll out. Its normal in some species and while it can cause issues or be a sign of illness, normally its just droopy skin.

I thought that was what Dante had. However re watching some episodes, I'm now pretty sure its makeup. When his lower lids lift up, it stays pink. Plus when Dylan pretended to be a goth, he got the same make up.

Had I figured that out before, I likely would have done some things differently in NSBAW, however now Dante just has Ectropion. He got it from his mom along with his eye colour.

Just some stuff I was thinking about.

Tibetan mastiffs are a big guardian dog breed! They are rare and ancient dating back thousands of years! There is very little known about them but we do know that for millennium they were guardians of the Himalayas. Some believe that visitors to tibet were gifted these dogs but it is unconfirmed!

(Old painting of a Tibetan mastiff)

Tibetan mastiffs are very unique in temperaturment! They dont need basic obidiance training and often dont care to do silly tricks or useful commands. They are very wary of strangers and dogs and dont often care to bond with anyone except their owners, though they are very rarely aggressive! It the event of an emergency or when you need a command they will usually go with instinct rather then obedience. They are often used as property protection or personal protection dogs for rich people as they dont do well in pet homes. They dont find joy is toys or tricks or food as they would rather go with instinct and guard their territory or handler!

In 2014 in china there was a "tibetan mastiff craze" whuch during a period of time people saw them as only for wealthy people and one was sold for 1.9 million. These "tibetan mastiffs" though were extremely over bred with exaggerating features and bred for looks over function. Their natural instincts were ruined causing many aggressive dogs. They were way to big causeing many many joint and bone issues and had alit of health issues. They couldn't move well and always had matted fur. Sadly they are still bred like that in china and other places but thats why its so important to do reasearch on a breed! Finding an ethical breeder that breeds to standard is very very necessary!

(Chinese "tibetan mastiff") (backyard bred)

They have many health issues common in large dog breed! health conditions such as elbow and hip dysplasia, hypothyroidism, and eye anomalies including entropion and ectropion. Seizures have been reported but not often. Their grooming is also very very difficult because of their thick wooly double coat that is used to keep them warm in the freezing climates if the Himalayan mountins! Monthly professional grooming and yearly vet visits are a necessity for this breed!

(Akc standard for tibetan mastiffs)

They need daily moderate exercise as they are still a working breed. They need a job to have such as guarding the yard or being a personal protection. They will not do well in a calm family environment. They can do great in family homes but need a job such as guarding kids when their outside or keeping eye on and around the house. They should never be in an apartment without a good space to get exercise or work well. The health issues can be avoided if the breeder does proper health testing but they should always still get tested yearly to prevent them.

JESUS YOUR YAPPING IS CRAZY

[justan-0-t-h-3-r]

This is something different, personal. No one but my partner knows irl but it's really bugging me so I wrote a thing, which, unfortunately people might relate too...

TRIGGER WARNINGS - gender, doctors, potentially terminal illness, operation, medical talk, loss of life

A lump I found  over a year ago

Antibiotics, here you go

4 weeks later no change

Antibiotics, a different range

4 weeks more, still the same

Oh well, it doesn't matter I'm not in any pain

3 months postpartum, back up the doctors again

Hi how are you doing, this is your "6" week check up, how is the baby, he's sleeping through the night? Congratulations, what a glorious sight.

Contraception, baby inspection, any other questions?

Actually, I'm still bleeding, it's probably nothing

Birth was crazy I might still be healing

It's normal, you've just had a baby

you are probably a bit crazy

How's your diet, what's your weight

It's pretty average nothing's change

Oh you're actually 14 weeks bleeding, that's not great.

Anyway I'm busy have a good day and don't forget, remember every word I say

14 weeks after my baby, he's my third

I don't really think I'm crazy,

It's still as heavy as it was on that day

Oh, you're busy?

I understad, you're in demand

Peoples health in your hands

4 months on, It's still the same

A different doctor please

They didn't listen to what I had to say

Blood tests

Infection risks

Negative, nothing on our list

Speculum examination

Doctors concentration

Silence 

I'm staring at the ceiling

"What was your last cervical screening?"

I've never had one

It's never seemed super important

Urgent appointment 

You have a cervical irregilation

No explanation

I'm doing my research

what could it be?

Cervical ectropion, pap test, colposcopy, biopsy

Is this happening to me?

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, 1, 2 and 3 different stages of severity 

There's one more possibility

Cervical glandular intraepithelial neoplasia

There's a chance this one turns into cancer

Cancer signs, different stages

Operations, challenges facing 

If caught early we can fix it

You can still have children though it'll be different

We remove your cervix but keep your womb

We can do this if we catch it soon

Any later it spreads too fast

Full hysterectomy no questions asked

Chemotherapy, radiation

We won't know yet for weeks, just be patient

I've been patient for over a year, no one has listened to any of my fears.

what if it's been present for far too long?

I look at my babies, they could end up alone.

I know I'm overthinking, but what if I'm right?

How much longer can I worry all night?

I tried to tell you I knew something was wrong, but it's been biology all along.

Biologically I'm female, assigned at birth, but you didn't listen to me because why on earth would someone who aligns different be so worried about the body they were given?

Why am I so different?

Why should my pain be hidden?

Biology has dictated that you could missed something that stop my existence.

post-hysto thoughts: man being able to orgasm and not be in excruciating pain afterwards really has me feeling like I could run across some mountains like full sound of music style

[bisexual-slime]

FUCK i had to make an emergency gynecologist appointment and i would’ve had to wait until tuesday to see a woman so i had to book a visit with a man. it’s my first time seeing a gyno which is stressful enough but i also have to go to a fucking dude. i genuinely feel like crying and throwing up, not even using meme vernacular right now

fuuuck I'm so sorry, I can't imagine how scary this must feel. I had one appointment with a male doctor regarding reproductive help and that was horrible and nerve wracking, and it wasn't even invasive, it was just to get the implant in my arm replaced. I avoid gynecological altogether because this is my worst nightmare. I'm really sorry, I've got no real advice to offer here other than just try and relax leading up to the appointment (easier said than done, I know) to make it as easy as possible. Men should never be allowed into the field of gynaecology. I really hope this appointment goes well for you and you get the treatment you need

[ewanmitchellcrumbs]

Why can you not have kids if you don’t mind me asking? Coming from someone who worries about their reproductive health for a plethora of reasons

I'll pop this under a cut, for those that want to scroll past. Trigger warning for fertility issues.

In my teens I went to an STI clinic because I was experiencing spotting between periods and this is a common symptom of chlamydia. My test came back negative, but upon further investigation it was discovered that I had an ectropion - this basically causes your cervix to slowly erode over time. Apparently it's quite a common condition and completely benign, so it doesn't require medical attention, but it does mean that you are more susceptible to bleeding between periods and bleeding if you have sex that's on the rougher side.

Fast forward to age 25 and I go for my first cervical screening - they found stage three cancerous cells, so I had emergency surgery under general anaesthetic to have all of my cervical lining removed.

That, combined with the ectropion has caused irreparable damage to the structural integrity of my reproductive organs - I can conceive, but I can't carry to full term - my body basically collapses under the weight of it. So, yeah, no kids for me.

I think moss and the sirehound should have eye ectropion I think they need to be droopier

🦋Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) should not be performed only for aesthetic concerns

✏️ Problems in the eyelids may be age-related, or they may occur congenitally or genetically at an early age.

✏️The main purpose is for the lower and upper eyelids to be functional.

✏️Also, eyelids should look aesthetic; Both eyes should be equal in size and shape.

✏️Cat eye and fox eyes (almond eye) appearance can also be achieved during blepharoplasty.

✏️Scar/marks; It should be aligned with the normal fold in the upper eyelid; If it remains 1 mm below the eyelashes on the lower lid, there will generally be no visible scars.

✏️There are 2 fat pads on the upper eyelid and 3 on the lower eyelid.

✏️If there is bagging on the lower or upper eyelid, it should be removed.

✏️Generally, incisions are closed aesthetically with dissolving stitches. Although these stitches dissolve on their own, they can sometimes be removed after 5-7 days.

✏️The surgery is performed with local, sedation or general anesthesia.

✏️When performed with local anesthesia (preferred), the patient can be discharged in 1-2 hours by applying ice for 10 minutes at a time.

✏️The surgery is completed within 30-90 minutes.

✏️After the surgery, ice is applied for 5-15 minutes every hour to reduce edema/swelling.

✏️It is beneficial to continue ice application for 2-4 days.

✏️Side effects and complications seen during surgery are minimal and generally temporary; swelling/edema, bruising, pain, blurred vision, watering, itching, stinging sensation and scar/mark❗️

✏️After 2-3 days after the operation, swelling (edema) begins to decrease, and the ideal shape of the eyelids is completed in 6-12 months.

✏️However, the patient can predict the shape that will occur even in a few weeks.

✏️ Post-operative pain is generally minimal or very little, and will go away with simple painkillers.

✏️If bruising occurs, some creams should be used for 2-7 days.

✏️Scar/mark is minimal or not expected in the future.

✏️If the patient complains, scar removal creams and sometimes lasers are preferred.

✏️Your Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery doctor will also prescribe you to use antibiotics and some eye drops.
