FTM Hysterectomy

Many transgender men experience significant discomfort or dysphoria related to their reproductive organs. While hormone therapy usually stops menstruation, the presence of these organs may still cause distress.

Types of Procedures

1. Total Hysterectomy:
   • Removal of both uterus and cervix
   • Often combined with removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes
2. Subtotal (Partial) Hysterectomy:
   • Uterus removal while preserving cervix
   • May still carry risk of cervical dysphoria
3. Laparoscopic Hysterectomy:
   • Minimally invasive approach
   • Less scarring and faster recovery
4. Abdominal Hysterectomy:
   • Larger incision in lower abdomen
   • May be necessary for larger uteri

Recovery

• 1-2 days hospital stay for laparoscopic surgery
• 2-3 days for abdominal surgery
• 6-8 weeks for full recovery
• Regular follow-up appointments

Additional Benefits

Removing these organs can help mitigate potential health risks associated with long-term testosterone therapy, making it an important step for some transgender men seeking long-term health and well-being.
