My Experience with Bottom Dysphoria

CW: gender dysphoria, bottom dysphoria, surgery, phimosis, Peyronie's disease

This is going to be a bit of a personal post and a little more somber then most of my stuff on here, so, y'know, skip it if that's not what you want. I just need to get some thoughts out of my head.

So, when I figured out I was trans, when I started my transition, I thought I was just going to keep my cock. I liked playing with it, I had a lot of fun with it, and I didn't really feel an urge not to have it. So, fuck it, I'll be a woman with a cock, I thought. After all, at that point I thought I was going to get away with a surgery free transition.

I had this idea in the back of my head that I was going to convince myself I could be happy with my body. That, if I could just take HRT, whatever the end result was would be me and that I could love myself for it.

It was a little over a year ago, May 2023, and I received an email ad from American Eagle of all places. I think I had shopped there once, for a romper I no longer own. They were advertising their swim wear. And prominently within the advertisement was a shot of a woman in a bikini in a pool. The picture was taken from in the pool, under the water looking slightly up. What this meant was you could see the woman from her waist down, and everything else was obscured. It very clearly was shot to draw attention to her swim bottoms.

When I saw this, I felt such a profound sadness that I just put my head on my desk and cried for a few minutes. There was something about seeing that bathing suit fit, without a bulge in it, that just completely broke me. Growing up, I had an older sister, and when she was out of the house, I would try on her clothes and day dream what it would've been like if I had been born a cis girl. Aside from the wistfulness and fear of getting caught, what I remember from back then was how sad I was that nothing ever really truly fit me. There were always signs that these clothes weren't "for" me, and thought had always left me feeling hopeless afterwards.

And here it was again, that same forlorn hopelessness, staring me in the face after some 15 years. I forget if I accepted it then, or if it took me a few days to synthesize, but it was after that that I recognized I had bottom dysphoria, and that if I was going to do anything about it, I was going to need to get surgery.

This whole story I had invented for myself, of transitioning without surgery was no longer a possibility for myself. Here was an issue I wanted to address, and to do so meant surgery. And, if I was going to have some surgeries, why not others? Why should I have to tolerate the body I was stuck in when I could do a little remodeling and make the place feel like home. I scheduled a consult for an orchiectomy, the turn around was quickest and I wanted less _junk_. I scheduled a consult for GCS. I scheduled a consult for FFS. I scheduled a consult for a BA.

It's been close to 14 months since that point. I escaped an abusive partner and a domestic situation that was slowly killing me, and I've had three of the surgeries that I scheduled consultations for. What I haven't had is GCS, and as much as the orchiectomy helped, it is so very clearly not enough. Worse yet, my hair removal has largely started out as well. I was supposed to have my first laser session on my crotch at the end of last July. It ended up being two days after I got away from the ex who was abusing me. I had to cancel the appointment. I haven't had one since.

That, more or less, brings us to today. I've been with my current partner for over 9 months at this point. She treats me with all the love and respect I deserved in my prior relationship. We have great sexual chemistry. We fool around and play with each other constantly.

I think that's part of the problem.

For years now, I've been forced to be a non-sexual being. Whether that was because of the abuse, the hrt, or being too exhausted from being a single mother trying to reestablish herself. I didn't have the time it energy for sex. The associated complications faded from my memory.

But that's not the case anymore. I have love and support. I have someone who makes sure I feel centered in our sexual encounters. I have a libido. I want to have sex. Unfortunately, when I do, my body hurts me, and seeing it makes me feel disgusted.

This is probably the right time to mention that I have phimosis. As a little girl, my parents decided not to have me circumcised. Unfortunately for me, my father was circumcised and mother didn't have a penis of her own. So neither one of them knew how to care for an uncircumcised penis, or what instruction their daughter needed. I never had any idea that anything was wrong. My penis was the only one I ever knew, and it was just the way it is. When I started to get erections, I felt soreness and tenderness around the tip. But that's fine, I thought, everything about puberty said that erections could hurt. That's what this was. It wasn't until I was almost 20 that I realized something was off. Unfortunately, the only solution presented to me was surgery, and, as we established, I was not so inclined. So, instead, I decided to continue dealing with the pain and discomfort that came whenever I was erect, touching myself, or having sex. I was used to it.

This is probably also the time to mention that I have Peyronie's disease. Sometime after starting HRT my abuser pressured me into having penetrative sex with them. They were in the mood and it was my responsibility to see them satisfied. I was able to get an erection, or so I thought. Little did I realize that HRT could lead to you being not-quite-fully-erect, and that this was one of the prime conditions under which you could damage yourself and develop Peyronie's. Long story short, some of the vascular elements of the penis gets damaged, it develops a distinct arch when erect, and erections become painful, or, in my case, more painful.

So I'm a little bitter about how broken that part of my body is. I have to remind myself that when other people have sex, or masturbate, or get off, that they aren't doing so while gritting their teeth and trying to push past the pain and enjoy themselves.

And as someone who doesn't even want the fucking thing, I feel even more betrayed by my body. Not only am I unhappy that it's there in the first place, but trying to enjoy myself means that it just ends up hurting me. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to tap out of a sexual encounter unwillingly because I'm in so much pain. Once I do, there's often a depressive spiral to deal with afterward. I've reached the point where I think about removing it myself. It's not pleasant to think about.

This has long since become a ramble. I wrote this mostly for me, but maybe it'll help someone out there who's going through something similar.

Chase what you want. Let yourself have the things you need to be happy and comfortable. This is your life, live it the way you want.

Signs and Symptoms of Phimosis

What is Phimosis?

Phimosis is a medical issue where the foreskin of the penis is tight and cannot be pulled back to reveal the head of the penis. This condition can result in pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse, urination, and other physical activities. It can also lead to other health complications if left untreated. In this article, we will explore the symptoms of phimosis, its causes, and available treatments.

Root Causes of Phimosis

There are various reasons for phimosis, including genetics, skin conditions like lichen sclerosus, and infections like balanitis. Additionally, phimosis can be caused by scarring or injury to the foreskin that leads to fibrous tissue buildup, making retraction difficult.

Key Symptoms of Phimosis

The most noticeable symptom of phimosis is having trouble pulling back the foreskin over the head of the penis. This can lead to pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse, urination, and other physical activities. Some other symptoms of phimosis include:

Swelling and redness of the head of the penis

Pain or discomfort during urination

Buildup of smegma (a mixture of dead skin cells and oils) under the foreskin

Inflammation or infection of the head of the penis

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis.

Treatment Options for Phimosis

The treatment plan for phimosis will depend on the severity of the condition and the underlying cause. In some cases, phimosis can be treated with topical creams or steroid ointments that help soften the tissue, making it easier to retract the foreskin. For severe cases, surgery may be necessary.

Circumcision is a common surgical procedure for phimosis, which involves removing the foreskin completely to expose the head of the penis. This procedure can be done under local or general anesthesia and is usually a simple procedure with a quick recovery.

Another treatment option is preputioplasty, which involves loosening the tissue of the foreskin without removing it completely. Preputioplasty is a good alternative for patients who want to keep some of their foreskin and avoid the more invasive circumcision procedure.

Phimosis FAQs

Is phimosis a dangerous condition?

Phimosis can be a dangerous condition if left untreated, causing pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse and urination, as well as other health problems. But with proper treatment, most people can overcome phimosis and lead a healthy and normal life.

Can phimosis be prevented?

There is no guaranteed way to prevent phimosis, as it can be caused by various factors, such as genetics and infections. However, practicing good hygiene and avoiding injury to the foreskin can reduce the risk of developing phimosis.

Conclusion

In conclusion, phimosis is a condition where the foreskin of the penis is tight and cannot be pulled back to reveal the head of the penis. Symptoms of phimosis include trouble retracting the foreskin, discomfort during sexual activity and urination, and swelling and redness of the penis head. Different treatments for phimosis exist, including topical creams and ointments, circumcision, preputioplasty, and there are also natural remedies for phimosis available that can be very effective. If you are experiencing symptoms of phimosis, it is important to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment options, including natural treatments.

Understanding Phimosis: Types, Treatment, and Tips for Recovery

Phimosis is a condition that affects the male reproductive system, specifically involving the foreskin. This blog aims to shed light on phimosis, its types, and treatment options and offer valuable tips for recovery.

Unveiling Phimosis - A Closer Look at the Condition

Phimosis is a medical condition characterized by the inability to retract the foreskin over the head of the penis. It primarily affects uncircumcised males, and the tightness can vary from mild to severe. Understanding the types and treatment options is crucial for those experiencing this condition.

Types of Phimosis

Physiological Phimosis:

This is common in infants and young boys and is considered a natural part of development. The foreskin gradually becomes more retractable as the child grows.

Pathological Phimosis:

This phimosis is often acquired and can result from infections, inflammation, or scarring. It is more common in adolescents and adults.

Treatment Options for Phimosis

Topical Steroid Creams:

Mild cases of phimosis can be treated with prescribed topical steroid creams. These creams help reduce inflammation and promote the elasticity of the foreskin.

Stretching Exercises:

Gradual stretching of the foreskin can improve flexibility. This should be done under medical guidance to prevent injury.

Dilation:

Medical professionals may use a dilation method, where a small device is inserted to stretch the foreskin over time.

Circumcision:

In severe cases or when other treatments fail, circumcision may be recommended. This surgical procedure involves the removal of the foreskin.

Tips for Recovery and Prevention

Recovery from phimosis involves a combination of medical treatment and self-care practices. Here are some tips to aid in recovery and prevent recurrence:

Maintain Good Hygiene:

Regularly cleaning the genital area helps prevent infections that may contribute to phimosis.

Avoid Forceful Retraction:

Attempting to retract the foreskin forcefully can lead to injury and worsen the condition. Gentle and gradual techniques are recommended.

Follow Medical Advice:

Adhering to the treatment plan outlined by a healthcare professional is crucial for successful recovery.

Practice Safe Sex:

Engaging in safe sexual practices can prevent infections that may contribute to phimosis.

What is Phimosis? What are the symptoms of Phimosis?

Phimosis is a condition where the skin covering the tip of the penis is too tight, making it difficult to pull back. There are two types: physiologic, which is normal and usually gets better as a child grows, and pathologic, which happens due to scarring or infection. Sometimes, babies are born with a tight foreskin, but as they get older, it usually loosens on its own. However, if there's a problem with scarring or infection, it might need some attention. Treatment isn't always necessary for young boys, but if they start having issues, it's important to get proper care.

How do you treat phimosis and paraphimosis?

The treatment for phimosis and paraphimosis differs as they are two distinct conditions related to the foreskin of the penis. Here's how each is treated:

Phimosis: Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin is too tight and cannot be retracted over the glans (head of the penis). Treatment options for phimosis include:

a. Topical Steroid Cream: A doctor may prescribe a topical steroid cream, such as betamethasone, to be applied to the foreskin. This can help reduce inflammation and soften the foreskin, making it more pliable and easier to retract. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully when using this cream.

b. Manual Stretching: Under medical supervision, the foreskin can be gently stretched over time to gradually increase its flexibility. This stretching should be done by a healthcare professional to avoid injury.

c. Circumcision: If conservative methods are ineffective, if phimosis causes pain, recurrent infections, or other complications, circumcision may be recommended. Circumcision is a surgical procedure that removes the foreskin entirely.

The choice of treatment depends on the severity of phimosis and the individual's specific circumstances. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.

Paraphimosis: Paraphimosis is a medical emergency that occurs when the retracted foreskin becomes trapped behind the glans, leading to swelling and constriction. It can result in reduced blood flow to the glans, which is a serious concern. The treatment for paraphimosis includes:

a. Manual Reduction: A doctor or healthcare professional will attempt to manually reduce the paraphimosis. This typically involves gently squeezing the glans to reduce swelling and then carefully moving the foreskin back into its normal position.

b. Dorsal Slit: If manual reduction is not successful or if there is a risk of severe tissue damage, a doctor may perform a dorsal slit. This is a small incision made in the foreskin to relieve the constriction, allowing it to be pulled back into place. The foreskin is not completely removed in this procedure.

If you suspect you have paraphimosis, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Delayed treatment can result in serious complications.

In both cases, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate treatment based on the specific condition and its severity. Do not attempt to self-treat or manage these conditions at home, especially if you are unsure about the diagnosis or severity of the situation.

Phimosis surgery in India

Phimosis is a genital disorder that affects certain adults and children who are not circumcised. Your foreskin cannot be pushed back (retracted) if you have phimosis. Your penis may appear to have rings around the tip. Having phimosis isn't always a bad thing. It only becomes a concern when symptoms appear. This might occur when phimosis is severe and leaves a pinhole-sized aperture. Phimosis is classified into two types: normal and pathologic. The physiologic type is common in childhood and normally goes away as you become older. Balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) is a disorder linked with the pathologic kind.

Who is affected by phimosis? The foreskin (also known as the prepuce) is tight when kids are born, but it normally loosens by the time they are two years old. Between the ages of 2 and 6, the foreskin loosens and begins to detach from the head of the penis. Phimosis can occur after childhood as well.

What is the prevalence of phimosis? Phimosis is seen in almost all babies, and the foreskin eventually transforms such that it may be pushed back. It is believed that just 1% of persons develop phimosis when they reach the age of 16.

What are the phimosis symptoms ? Those suffering from phimosis may have the following symptoms:

When infected or irritated, redness or discolouration may result.

Infection/irritation can cause swelling (inflammation).

Soreness.

Dysuria is the sensation of pain during urinating.

Pain during erections or sexual activity.

What is the cause of phimosis? If you or your kid develops pathologic phimosis (which is caused by a disorder), there are several possible causes, including:

Inadequate hygiene. This might be both a cause and an effect of phimosis. Cleaning carefully may be uncomfortable and painful, yet failing to clean may result in infection.

Eczema, psoriasis, lichen planus, and lichen sclerosus are examples of skin ailments. Lichen sclerosis is termed as penile lichen sclerosis or balanitis xerotic obliterans (BXO) when it affects your penis.

Scar tissue or preputial adhesions that keep the foreskin glued to the tip (glans) of your penis.

Injuries.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are examples of infections.

How is phimosis identified? During a physical examination, your healthcare professional can diagnose phimosis. They may also conduct tests to determine whether an infection is present in the urine or penile discharge.

How can I avoid phimosis?

Physiological phimosis is incurable. It is found in virtually all babies. However, it is critical to maintain the penis clean. Parents or carers should be instructed on how to clean a penis properly. They should also be advised not to be concerned about the fact that the foreskin is immobile during the first few years of life. When the youngsters reach the age of self-care, they should be taught to clean their own penis.

How should I care for myself if I have phimosis? You should endeavour to maintain your penis healthy whether you have phimosis or not. This begins with keeping your genitals clean. Clean your penis every day with soft soap and warm water, and dry it carefully after cleaning. Make sure your hands are clean before touching your penis, and that the pants you're wearing is also clean. If you are sexually active, you should use a condom and use plenty of lubrication. The friction of intercourse on a penis with phimosis and without a condom might result in foreskin tears. You might need treatment and a common suggestion is Phimosis surgery in India. Talk to your healthcare provider or your child’s provider to make the best choice.

“What ages does physiological phimosis end? When does it start becoming an issue aside form natural phimosis in children?”

Physiological phimosis is a natural and normal condition in children that typically resolves on its own during puberty. It is not considered a medical issue unless it causes problems such as pain or difficulty with urination. In most cases, the foreskin gradually becomes looser over time and can be fully retracted by the end of puberty.

In rare cases, physiological phimosis may persist into adulthood and require medical attention. If an adult experiences discomfort or difficulty retracting the foreskin, they should consult with a healthcare professional who can help determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.

Circumcision

This is a minor operation that needs to be done in boys as a type of therapy. In order to understand the reasons for the operation, one needs to know what is normal.

Let's talk about early help!

I try not to talk about my job on this site. I generally avoid mixing work and my personal life, especially on the internet.

We had a patient come in several years ago to see the urologist; they had a case of Posthitis. I remember the patient because I was in the room when the doctor examined them. That is not normal, as I usually work as a surgical assistant in the operating theatre. I remember this patient because I was shocked at the state of their penis, I had seen some terrible cases, but this one was definitely #1. The urologist said after the patient had left that it was the worst they had seen outside of a medical book or research paper.

This week, the patient is back. They didn't get any treatment previously, and the case has progressed. I wasn't in the room, but they got rushed into surgery. The goal was to clean up the area and give the patient some antibiotics to reduce the infection so that surgery was safe. It was horrific.

Men, please seek help early; if you are unhappy with the first diagnosis, seek alternatives. Ultimately, if you let it get to the point where you have gangrene and likely sepsis, you are setting yourself up for a world of additional complications.

Adult circumcisions prevent many problems and are relatively low-risk compared to many other surgeries that are more commonly done without the medical need (think cosmetic plastic surgery). Being scared can very quickly turn into life-threatening problems without proper care. Think of those around you who love and care for you!
