thank you for the information! it's hard to find good, medical videos on lesser-known transgender issues. also, that's so cool to see a trans MD! I am a ftm nursing student :)

@pineapplekush420 2 месяца назад

Dr. Ben, you are an inspiration. As a trans man, it is so meaningful to me to see representation in the medical field. Thank you for sharing this information.

@pandapan5797 23 дня назад

PLEASE PLEASE I love this medically-focused trans content!! I'd particularly love it if they were structured like classes, I'd pay for that!!! I'm a trans man student in the health area, not medicine, though, but I'm very interested in knowing about how the body works. I trust a trans man speaking about ftm hrt, more than any other source.

@AdriXone-rr1sr 23 дня назад

As a trans guy 11 months on T I keep struggling with lower abdomen pain. It feels like the pain you get when your period is about to start but the pain is often really damn strong. I haven't had my period in a solid year because of progesteron pills I still continue taking to this day as contraception. I'm scared of going to the gynaecologist and with top surgery right around the corner (literally) I'm just very anxious about everything rn, being a nervous wreck so I feel like I'm overthinking things

@Alexi0s 10 дней назад

Hey hope the pain gets better ^^ You’ve got this!

@DumbStufffff 8 дней назад

It might be atropy! Atropy is pretty common for trans guys, but can cause much bigger issues when left alone so please see a doctor educated with trans health. ^_^ good luck

Thanks. I am taking testosterone for energy and life libido. But I’m close to perimenopause probly. I am using topical progesterone also. But believe I need to use the topical estrogen that I have as well

@dennis5806 4 месяца назад

hey, as a transgender man i had some questions about some things i think youd know better about as a doctor and trans man yourself. but theres no way of contacting you anywhere so im just leaving this here. i understand we have a risk, trans or otherwise for cervical cancer. i, and probably many other trans guys dont see myself getting tested cause its too much anxiety and dysphoria. especially where im from, being trans is extremely uncommon. so, with that being said as a trans guy and doctor yourself whats your experience ? do you get tested regularly ? and would you recommend something like a hysterectomy and trachelectomy to remove the cervix and uterus altogether to prevent cancer in the future ?

@AprilLovesDIY 2 месяца назад

FYI, bacterial vaginosis is a vaginal infection yes but it’s bacteria and yeast is a fungus. A yeast infection is completely different from bacterial vaginosis and are you really a doctor because you should know that

@lukeodubhda 9 месяцев назад

great video! I'm surprised that topical estrogen only has effects in the area applied. wouldn't a hormone have to get into the blood stream to have an effect and then once in blood stream, could have effects everywhere. it's absorbed in through the skin and gets to the relevant tissues but not via blood? any thoughts?

@lionhearted_ben 9 месяцев назад

Good question! Estrogen gel is a specific formulation to act on the specific sites it's applied to. It doesn't travel very far in the bloodstream and acts on the receptors around the tissues they are closest to. Hope that helps!

@ishatounjoya9991 25 дней назад

You should also explain that gender identity is not the same as sexual orientation, Also you should also mention vigianal an trophy if you haven't had an hysterectomy

@Ethan-ee8rv 8 месяцев назад

This vid is helpful as I suspect I may have atrophy. Im just wondering, as a trans doctor what is your opinion on transmedicalism? Do you believe dysphoria is the inate condition which makes us trans, or something else?

@lionhearted_ben 8 месяцев назад

Dysphoria is not a need for someone to be trans. It is entirely someone's personal decision on whether they want to pursue medical interventions in their transition. I see gender diversity from the lens of my ancestors in South Asia.

HIIII ! i'm an enby transmasc person who's about to start T, i'm also Bipolar and on Mood regulation pills (Quietiapine). Can Testosterone and my treatment cause some bad mix symptoms, are they compatible ? (thanks in advance if you answer)

@machinegurlll 2 месяца назад

as someone who took it for way too long I would try and get off seroquel and ask for a better bipolar med tbh. It makes you so tired it'll be hard to tell what the testosterone side effects are but im not a doctor so only listen to them and dont randomly quit cold turkey, that causes bad withdrawals

Ask ur doctor. But taking metal health pills are extremely compatible and recommend sometimes when transition I’m on mood stabilizers as well

@Nyxcoffee 2 месяца назад

Hello! My 13 yr friend is going to be taking testosterone soon. I really want to take some as well, I want all effects from it apart from facial hair and a too deep voice. Is there any type of testosterone you know that can do that? :) I’m ((13-16))

@Anne-yh1vv Месяц назад

No, you will get a deep voice _fast_ from testosterone, and substances like it. You will also get facial hair after a while. You can't pick what effects of it you want, and what not. I think you should try to get comfortable with your own body. I recommend going for a swim to feel the water flowing against your body, or making something with your hands and seeing what you can do. Talking with your parents or other adults you trust, that have known you for a while, about your childhood and who you are, might also help. Listen to them, seriously. You guys are very young. _Please_ wait until you're an adult to make decisions like that, you might not realize it, but you actually don't really know yourself yet when you're thirteen to eighteen. The testosterone will have permanent effects on your body if you take it. For the rest of your life. You might not like that later on.

@@Anne-yh1vv I agree with you as a minor who doesn't feel aligned with their birth gender. I feel like I've been put in the wrong body a lot somstime; I wish I looked more like a boy and was seen as a I boy but even if I could, I wouldn't take testosterone right now. I'm very sure I will when I'm older, but as you said it's a life changing decision that I don't think is safe to make at my age. EDIT: Okay, after some thought and talking to people about this. If someone is suffering from dysphoria I think they should get gender affirming care (testosterone/estrogen and hormone blockers). It's not as bad for me but for some people being in their bodies is hell and they deserve to feel better. Also, I don't think taking hormones is as permanent as you say it is.

where to buy testosterone?

@HoldMyCalls 2 месяца назад

planned parenthood i think(?), but it would definitely be best to check where you can find it locally

@Anne-yh1vv Месяц назад

Please find a psychologist, a doctor or a psychiatrist, don't just buy testosterone. Don't you see how unwise it is to start using testosterone on your own?

@dionnedunsmore9996 3 месяца назад

Im not trans anything but i used to be a CMA, & a CPT. This topic is very interesting tho-regardless of my profession or preference. As a Mom (my kids are in their 30s tho, so maybe im now n exmom, like the cma & cpt titles?? 😆Lol n ! i no thats not true, im jk) i imagine raising a child dealing w this ... We all no how blunt kids can be. Sometimes (actually --most times) theyre so blunt. Alot of times they can really scar us deeply! So often r issues as adults, come from the stuff done to us when we were kids. Id probably have such a hard time rearing a child who faced trangender. I was a lil bit crazy protective over my kids. Smh somebody messin' w my kid?!!? 🤯💔😖 Not a good idea! Id probably end up in trouble smh not good. More than that issue tho would likely be feeling like Id failed my child. Mommys wear an exceptionally cool cape! We fix everything! Everything!! We always make r child's life easier or at least more manageable... From kissin' booboos to changing bicycle tires and gluing tea sets back together-- we fix it all!! Not being able to "fix" the issues going in hormonally and physically would just kill me inside. Sure-id utilize the doctor, and hopefully shed treat my child successfully but... It's not the same as Mommy'jng the situation.

@ayeright320 25 дней назад

Clinics don't pay for ongoing data collection or want to know about detransitioners- thats why they get abuse on socials. It's bad for business. They had a whole conference in the States recently though with loads of them there because it's a big problem now. I know many just in my area because I work in mental health.

Why didn't you mention the vaginal attrophy and sepsis that Buck Angel experienced and nearly died from? If you're going to offer medical advice, at least tell the truth. Otherwise, your channels is a disservice.

@lionhearted_ben 11 месяцев назад

I did mention vaginal atrophy.... I think you need to learn that I'm not keen on using big scientific words but would rather explain what that means. And many individuals regardless of gender will experience vaginal atrophy. Instead of using anecdotal incidents to scare folks, there are ways to address these problems in both cis women and trans folks.
