I'm a trans man who wants phallo SO bad but the Fear Mongering people do makes me so scared. I have such a fear of surgery anyway and people say phallo is nearly 23hrs long, and it has more risks than heart surgery does, and idk if these are true bc I'm too scared to google it..But I want it so bad, but the stuff I hear scares me. Also people saying it doesn't have any sensation worries me. You said trans men can ask about it so I hope this is ok to do on anon!!! I'd appreciate a non fear filled reply so much thanks!!
23 hours!! Those poor surgeons, can you imagine!
Virtual hugs if you’re the hugging type, Anon, and a cool rock if you’re not.
Those things are definitely not true, not remotely. It’s a long surgery, but when I say it’s long that means it’s about 8 hours all told. It sounds like maybe someone heard it referred to as an “all-day” thing meaning a full WORK day, but instead assumed that that meant a full CALENDAR day. Or, you know, a transphobe made shit up to scare people.
It is most definitely not nearly as risky to your wellbeing as a surgery in which they saw open your sternum and cut open your actual beating heart. There is a fairly high chance of a minor complication that can result in the terrible ordeal of getting pee on your pants sometimes—a urethral fistula—and in most cases, they close up on their own anyway without needing another surgery to correct them. And in this case, “fairly high” means 40%, so it’s still less than half a chance that it’ll happen in the first place. At worst it’s annoying. Serious complications, the type that put you in danger, are extremely rare.
The sensation thing is also false, because they literally harvest a length of nerve from your donor site and hook it up to your existing bits specifically so you WILL have sensation! Sure, it takes a little while for the nerve to heal, but that’s just the reality of ANY surgery.
The nerve grows back in your donor site, too, by the way. While I was typing this up I discovered that one particular spot on my graft is ticklish.
Everyone has their own individual healing factor, but speaking for myself, I had full erotic sensation before the 3-month mark, and the orgasms have been incredible. The head and base are highly sensitive, and everything in between responds pretty damn nicely too, just less of a hit-the-ceiling level of sensitivity. And, you know, if you’ve handled an AMAB person’s penis much at all you’ll know that’s pretty much in keeping with how their dicks work too.
It is an in-patient surgery so if you have it, you’ll be staying in a hospital for a few days so they can keep an eye out for rare disasters. My stay was four or five days of snoring most of the day and periodically getting woken up to eat or answer some simple check-in questions, lift my arm for nurses to move stuff, etc, and then conking back out.
Being cathed sucks, but two weeks of frequent trips to the toilet to drain your bag is honestly nothing compared to a lifetime without (or with vastly reduced) bottom dysphoria. That’s the part that I hated. Everything else was your typical recovery: 10-15 days of sleeping 20 hours a day, then however many weeks of being tired, taking meds, and careful washing, gradually feeling more and more normal until you’re back up to full and ready to get back to business as usual.
Except with this one, you get to learn to pee standing up in the process. :D
(Protip: don’t try a public urinal until you’ve got it down pat at home. Not because of cis men, but because the learning process is messy, lol! The overwhelming majority of cis men in public restrooms want nothing to do with anyone else while they’re in there. The only place anyone’s gonna give your dick more than half a second’s accidental glance is in a gay bar. In 8+ years of using public men’s rooms I have yet to see one (1) penis that wasn’t mine!)

Metoidioplasty Frequently Asked Questions and Answers:
How many stages is metoidioplasty?
One-stage procedure for the creation of a neophallus from a hormonally enlarged clitoris.
Can metoidioplasty penetrate?
Sexual penetration after Metoidioplasty is rarely possible. Some people can find the right position to penetrate but aren't able to thrust or achieve deep penetration. (If this is important to you, consider Phalloplasty)
Do I need to be on testosterone to have a Metoidioplasty?
Yes, surgeons generally require you to be on testosterone for one to two years prior to having Metoidioplasty to maximize the growth of the neo-phallus before surgery. lf you're planning to go off testosterone at some point after surgery. It's important to know that you could lose phallus length, which could prevent standing to urinate
Do I need to have a Hysterectomy before Metoidioplasty?
Only if you're having a Vaginectomy procedure done. With Metoidioplasty, then the uterus needs to be removed. (Ovaries do not have to be removed.)
Will I be able to pee while standing after Metoidioplasty?
The ability to pee while standing after
Metoidioplasty depends on anatomy and is not always possible. People who are heavier are often not able to urinate standing up after metoidioplasty
Are there ways to enlarge a metoidioplasty penis?
A surgeon in Iran published a study in 2016 about the successful use of a traction device (ex. pump) to lengthen the post- metoidioplasty phallus. Dr. Toby Meltzer a Metoidioplasty surgeon based in Scottsdale, Arizona and Portland, Oregon has long advocated pumping to enlarge the neo-phallus before metoidioplasty.
Can I have Urethral Lengthening without having a Vaginectomy?
Most surgeons require a vaginectomy if Urethroplasty (Urethral lengthening/UL) is being performed because Vaginectomy reduces the risk of fistula. However, there are a handful of surgeons who will do UL without vaginectomy: Dr. Heidi Wittenberg in San Francisco, and the surgeons at Crane Center for Transgender Surgery, Drs. Crane, Santucci and Safir, If considering this option, it's important to understand the increased risk of complications.
Can I have Testicular Implants put in at the same time as the Metoidioplasty and Scrotoplasty?
Most surgeons prefer to wait until the scrotum has healed before putting in testicular implants. Generally, this takes place 5-6 months after the initial surgery. The exception to this is with the Belgrade Metoidioplasty technique with labial flaps joined at the midline to create the scotum (vs. VY Scrotoplasty). In this case, the testicular implants are put in during the initial surgery.
What is recovery from Metoidioplasty like?
Recovery can include: moderate to severe pain; a catheter for 2-6 weeks if urethral lengthening is performed; no desk work for two weeks, and no strenuous activities for four weeks.
What is a fistula?
If you experience urine coming out from somewhere other than the urethra or catheter tube, this is a fistula. These often heal on their own but sometimes require surgery. Depending on the fistula, surgeons will require a period of three to six months between the original metoidioplasty surgery and a fistula repair surgery to allow tissues to heal and strengthen. Learn more about potential complications from Metoidioplasty here.
What if I decide after surgery that I need Phalloplasty? Can Phalloplasty be performed on someone who has had a previous Metoidioplasty?
Yes, phalloplasty can be performed for some patients who have had metoidioplasty in the past. It is dependent on how your original surgery was done and surgeon preference.

The Heart of a Fighter: Michele’s Journey of Health and Hope
On the latest episode of the Leo MonWell podcast, I had an incredibly inspiring guest: Michele (with one L), haha.
Watch the FULL EPISODE or keep reading after the preview:
youtube
Michele has survived challenges that would have most people calling it quits—and she's still here, radiating positivity, warmth, and that fighter's spirit that leaves you in absolute awe. This woman is a true testament to resilience. Michele has faced down health issues that most of us can only imagine, and she's outperformed all the odds like it was a personal mission. She doesn’t just survive—she thrives.
So, let me set the scene. Michele's daily routine involves a lot more than the usual hustle many of us know. She goes through dialysis—a life-saving process that purifies her blood three times a week because her kidneys are no longer functioning. And though this process leaves her drained physically, she doesn't let it steal her joy or hope. Michele has her routines, her home life, and her daily rhythms, proving that her determination is what drives her, not her diagnosis. “It keeps me here so I can talk with you,” she says with gratitude, reframing something most people would dread as an opportunity to connect.
Dialysis, grafts, and fistulas in her arms? They’re just part of her story. Michele is upfront about the reality—she knows the risks, she knows the toll it takes, but she also knows that as long as she’s breathing, she’s fighting. And she’s been fighting for a while now. Her journey began in 1998 when her two sons were young. She had her first major hospitalization and almost lost her life, yet she was back out soon, continuing her mission of raising her boys. As a single mom, she did it all, and the beauty of her strength is that she didn’t give up, even when she was barely holding on financially. “I did what I could,” she told me, recalling how grilled cheese sandwiches became a meal to make it through to payday.
Michele shared the story of raising her two active boys on a tight budget—how they learned to make the best of what they had. And while those days were challenging, they were also filled with love and laughter.
Over the years, her health continued to test her. From TTP to multiple strokes and the loss of her ability to walk, Michele has had to re-learn basics like sitting up and moving her body again. But she made it, step by step, with her faith holding her up. There was a moment when she described the days after a stroke when she had to lie down to eat, unable to even sit upright without vertigo taking her down. She didn’t sugarcoat it—those were hard days, but in her words, “God carried me.” And Michele, in her unique way, has this fire that keeps her not only pushing forward but lifting up those around her, as she did for her sons and her grandson, who she raised for six years.
She’s a proud grandma now, and despite it all, she talks about life with such genuine love and positivity. We laughed when she described how she's now “petite” from all the weight she lost—finally fitting into a petite dress she’d long wanted. But trust me, that petite frame holds a super-sized spirit!
In a world that’s often caught up in convenience and comfort, Michele reminds us all about the strength found in struggle. As a medical social worker, I’ve seen plenty of people facing life-changing diagnoses, but Michele stands out. She hasn’t just fought—she’s shown that you can live, love, and lead a life filled with purpose no matter what the odds are. And it’s not about feeling sorry for herself or wanting anyone’s pity. She’s here to show the world that strength is possible, even on the toughest days.
So, to Michele with one L, I’m honored to have you as a guest. Your story is a beacon for anyone facing challenges, and I hope that everyone reading this takes a little piece of your courage and keeps it close. You’re here, and you’re living proof that resilience, faith, and a fighting spirit can carry us through anything. Thank you for being that light on the Leo MonWell podcast.

May i ask how's the recovery process after gender affirming surgeries?
If you mean how's it going now: my last surgery was in 2022 so at this point I'm 100% healed up. I was SUPPOSED to get my implants in December 2023 but my insurance company has been fucking me over at every turn so that's still on hold.
If you mean how was it at the time:
Top surgery (2018) was pretty easy for me since I have a desk job. I stayed with family in town for the first 2 weeks, during which time I basically did nothing but sleep, wake up long enough to use the toilet, take a dry shower, eat something, take more pain meds, then go back to sleep. I had 4 weeks off work, so after that I was a little sore and still confined to button-down shirts because I couldn't raise my arms above shoulder level; then I went back to work and all was normal for the next month. But...
Because I am an unlucky son of a bitch, I had a rare complication: I developed a seroma that dehysced (i.e. a hole opened up along my suture line that leaked large amounts of greasy, bright orange fluid made up of lymph and blood), which was not painful at all but was absolutely disgusting and very alarming to experience—but not a medical emergency or anything, and was easily fixed with a revision surgery. I took another 2 (I think?) weeks off work and it's been fine ever since. The left side of my chest is a little funny but I don't really care, it was fully worth it. Please note that I did not have drains. If you have drains, you're even LESS likely to have this problem.
Hysterectomy (2019) was much the same: I slept through the first two weeks and spent the next 2 in a recliner with an ice pack on my lower belly, playing a lot of Stardew Valley and getting into Critical Role. I was lucky enough to live with a friend who loves cooking. I ate a lot of soup. The soreness wasn't that bad, but I have a policy of staying ahead of the pain by using timers for how often I should be taking them. The worst part of it was the pain meds, tbh, because I really don't like the way oxycodone makes me feel; at the same time, I'm grateful for that fact because it keeps me from forming a habit.
Phalloplasty etc (2021) was kinda rough to start. I had 3 months off work that time. Slept through the first 2 weeks as usual. But for the first 3 weeks total I had a suprapubic catheter in and man I fuckin' hate being cathed. I felt like I needed to pee at all times, even immediately after draining the cath bag. Awful. Learning to pee standing up was...let's just say I did a lot of laundry and cleaning, lol. This was made worse by the fact that I had two fistulae (holes that go through the urethra all the way to the outside)—like I said, I've got bad luck. One of them healed up all on its own, like most of them do. The other one required a revision 8 months later, which meant being cathed again for a while, SIGH. But back to post-op for phallo: I had physical therapy for my left arm to make sure I kept a good range of motion; I kept the graft bandaged with daily gentle cleanup, application of ointments, and rebandaging; and had to take dry showers for the first uhhhhh. 2 weeks at least, maybe 3 or 4? After I got the cath out, things were MUCH easier. I was just kinda vaguely tired and sore and spent most of my time lying down. My libido came back at the start of the 2nd month, which was frustrating af because it wasn't till the start of the 3rd month that I was healed up enough to do anything about it (but once I could, holy FUCK it was incredible).

Fistula is a medical condition that is characterized by an abnormal connection between two organs or tissues in the body. In the case of an anal fistula, it is a connection between the anal canal or rectum and the skin around the anus. This condition can be painful, uncomfortable, and can also result in the discharge of pus and blood. Treatment for fistula usually involves surgery, but before that, doctors may recommend some diagnostic tests to determine the extent of the problem. One such test is MRI or magnetic resonance imaging. In this blog post, we will discuss whether MRI is mandatory in fistula or not.

Day 3
So today was a bit more interesting. Courtney and Nick had to cover more ortho/spine/trauma floor because a pt was out. Today we saw a mexican lady first that had dementia where a lot her brain is gone from the ct scan. but she was with her husband and was here because she fell and broke her hip along with her old fracture of her spine. we didnt do much with her cause she was sleeping. while we were in there I saw the other pt move over her gown and started touching her self lol. the next lady was a lady that had MS that also fell with a hip fx. she had orthostatic bp when we got her up with the sara stedy. she was joyful to be around and was telling me about her kid named anthony. we co treated with emily knight today with this.
next was the dude that was an alcoholic but runs a sober living facility that was involved in a moped accident. the dr., dr valentino a fat ass fuck trauma surgeon came in with his pa but it was awkward because he didnt really move the conversation. he just stood there and was like ok and talked in medical terminology that the pt was clearly agitated and yeah. but courtney did a great job deesclating it and was able to convince the guy to go to rehab. basically he fx his pelvis, broke his femur and had some bleeding that needed to be cleaned up in his abdomen.
then we saw the crack lady looking and did some stairs.
the most interesting today was working with the tbi MVA 19 year old kid. he was a disorders of conciousness and was able to cotreat with alex v. the ot, she was really cool and knowledgeable and she was doing the jfk. i was able to feel his tone in his elbow and finger flexors. he has a diffuse axonal injury and his mom was also there. the nail bed test for the jfk can either be localized, generalized, or absent.
FBR - facility based rehab
PLS - prior living situation ( accounts for homeless people)
the other word i forgot was fistulas
we cotreated a ranch man that had an elective spine surgery, basically fusion of his whole lumbar to sacrum. he lived in the mountains with an outhouse and shower room. it was hella funny cause he was trying to show us his placeo n his phone and a bunch of porn popped up. he had a XILF along with a bunch of other stufff.
the last pt we saw was the oral cavity cancer lady. that had a total neck dissection that required a trach and cappula etc. she was moving well.
I think today was good for the more neuro population skills and knowledge. i think i need to learn the jfk and practice it better.
at lunch talking to tiffany another pt, she suggested to break it down in terms of like pt floors or whatever and i think that would be a good idea for the deliverable.
alan was a homie and i was able to leave the airbnb and stay at a hotel for the rest of the time! sweet that airbnb was so sketchy lol.

Fistulas are challenging medical conditions that can significantly affect an individual’s quality of life.

Beyond Conventional Medicine: Homeopathy’s Presence in Delhi
Homeopathy, a form of alternative medicine, has been gaining popularity as people seek natural and holistic approaches to healthcare. At the core of homeopathy is the belief that the body has the ability to heal itself, and that tiny doses of natural substances can stimulate this healing process. Homeopathic doctors, also known as homeopaths, are trained professionals who specialize in this field. Finding the Best Homeopathic Doctor in Delhi for fistula treatment requires careful consideration of various factors, including qualifications, experience, specialization, personalized approach, patient reviews, accessibility, and cost.
Training and Qualifications of Homeopathic Doctors
Becoming a homeopathic doctor requires rigorous training and education. Most homeopaths have a background in conventional medicine or allied health professions, such as nursing or pharmacy. They then undergo specialized training in homeopathy, which includes studying the principles and philosophy of homeopathy, learning how to conduct patient consultations, and understanding how to select and administer appropriate remedies. Licensing and certification requirements for homeopathic practice vary by country.
Treatment Approach
Conditions Treated
Homeopathy is used to treat a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, including allergies, respiratory infections, digestive disorders, skin conditions, hormonal imbalances, and mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Homeopathic remedies are derived from various sources, including plants, minerals, and animal products, and are prepared through a process of dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking).
Research and Evidence
Despite its long history and widespread use, homeopathy remains controversial in the medical community due to a lack of robust scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness. Critics argue that any benefits observed may be attributed to the placebo effect or natural healing processes. However, some studies have shown promising results, and many patients report positive experiences with homeopathic treatment.
Integration with Conventional Medicine
In recent years, there has been growing interest in integrative medicine, which seeks to combine conventional and complementary therapies for a more comprehensive approach to healthcare. Homeopathy can complement conventional medical treatments by addressing the underlying causes of illness and promoting overall wellness. However, it’s essential for patients to communicate openly with all members of their healthcare team to ensure safe and effective care.
Consultation and Patient Experience
One of the hallmarks of homeopathic treatment is its emphasis on patient-centered care. Homeopaths spend time getting to know their patients and developing a deep understanding of their unique health concerns and goals. Patients often appreciate the personalized attention and holistic approach of homeopathy, which can empower them to take an active role in their healing journey.
Cost and Accessibility
Homeopathic treatment is generally affordable compared to conventional medical care, as remedies are often inexpensive and consultations may be shorter than those with conventional doctors. However, accessibility may vary depending on factors such as geographic location and insurance coverage. Some countries have well-established homeopathic institutions and clinics, while others may have limited access to homeopathic services.
Criticism and Controversy
Critics of homeopathy raise concerns about its scientific plausibility, the lack of standardized regulations, and the potential for harm if patients forego conventional treatments in favor of homeopathy alone. Skeptics argue that homeopathic remedies are highly diluted to the point where they may contain no active ingredients, making them essentially indistinguishable from placebo. Regulatory agencies in some countries have taken steps to restrict the marketing and sale of homeopathic products.
The Future of Homeopathic Medicine
Despite the controversy surrounding homeopathy, its proponents remain optimistic about its future. Advances in research methodologies, including the development of new tools for studying complex systems, may shed more light on the mechanisms of action of homeopathic remedies. Integrative healthcare models that incorporate homeopathy alongside conventional medicine could become more widespread, offering patients a broader range of treatment options.
Conclusion
Homeopathic doctors play a valuable role in modern healthcare by providing individualized and holistic treatment options for a variety of health conditions. While homeopathy continues to face skepticism and criticism, many patients find relief and support through this gentle and non-invasive form of medicine. As research and clinical evidence evolve, homeopathy may become more integrated into mainstream healthcare, offering patients additional choices for promoting health and wellness.
