Hi, im a 21 yr old trans man. Im going to have my right ovary removed due to a humoungus dermoid cyst... 10cm! Its ridiculous. Im just wondering if anyone else has experianced this? Should I talk with my hrt prescriber about this, since it could lower my estrogen production? Im a little worried my dose may become too high and it revert to estrogen instead of staying testosterone. But maybe I'll just get a better result from the T. Im just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. I

wish I could just get both removed and and hysrectomy and get it over with, but I need to go thro all the hoops of getting therapist notes and etc... this month i just got insurance that can cover that stuff but Im a little lost on where to start.

Edit: i appreciate everyone commenting about hormones but im really looking for anyone with experiance with this surgery who could explain what the procedure & recovery was like for them

Had my uterus and tubes taken out 9th of July (robotically assisted LAVH). Had nasty bouts of UTI during recovery as well as my first cyst ever as well as some heavy muscle spasms so it wasn't exactly easy lol. Currently managing to get some E back down there because I also dried out during recovery.

Hemmorhagic ovarian cyst is still there measuring at 2.5cm for the past 2 months since it was found. I really hope it goes down and vanishes soon.

Anyhow, I still tend to feel sore every other day or so, especially along the two lines running from the sides of my groin up to my incision on my stomach. Sometimes some crampy and tender feelings directly on my mons or a very small cramp in the musculature at the end of peeing. Urine is all clear according to doctors', so it's most likely just healing pains and feeling sore.

Has anyone else felt sore for so long after surgery? I'm starting to feel a bit broken and like this is my new normal even though there has been a very very veeeeery slow easing of symptoms. Just wondering whether there are other slow recoveries out there.
