For some, the human penis is something that comes for free. But have you ever pondered on how you can grow a penis during FTM transition?

If not, worry not as new-age healthcare practices have made it possible to get a T dick or even a natural penis through testosterone hormone replacement therapy and surgical options.

Get on board as we explore the various aspects of getting a T dick as an FTM and gain further insights to help you navigate your transition journey with knowledge and ease.

The impact of testosterone on your T dick

The impact of testosterone on your T dick will vary depending on the dosage, route of administration, and the aftercare practices that you choose for your recovery.

Increased sexual sensitivity

Most FTM Individuals report experiencing arousal and pleasure changes that come with having testosterone on their T dick. This is because as the clitoris is now enlarged, more erectile tissues are exposed; thus, any changes in pressure translate to an easy arousal. Consequently, you will feel sensitivity changes in your sexual life.

Visibly Enlarged Phallus

Before your T dick and HRT, your T dick was more like a bottom growth but not as enlarged as a natural dick. Because testosterone is known to stimulate the erectile tissues, you are likely to experience more phallic hypertrophy compared to when you had your bottom surgery. Over time, this is likely to raise your confidence to levels where you would want it to be.

Discomfort

As your HRT process continues, you are more likely to experience pain in your T dick. This is because there are intracellular changes in the tissues that translate into physical sensations of growth. For one, because the clitoral hood will be shrinking back and being exposed, you will feel more sensitivity, which is part of the process. You can ease discomfort by going for undergarments made of soft fabric.

Prominent Erections

Also, as the tissues continue to form the T dick, it means that your erectile tissue will be exposed to both internal and external changes, more like an actual dick would. Thus, you are prone to experiencing more erections, which will ultimately mean that your orgasms will vary starkly. Coming wrapped with this, you are more likely to notice that your orgasms will be concentrated on your T dick and genital rather than a full body orgasm.

Color changes on T dick

Because of increased blood flow to the T dick, the T dick is likely to embody a deep red or pink color. This may also be due to the swelling that comes as your T-dick grows with testosterone. While the hood may remain partly visible, the external bud may still be visible too, which will urge you to switch to boxer briefs to ease this sensation.

Variability in Growth

Expect varied growth rates for everyone. In significant cases, your surgical procedure will increase your clitoris into a T dick ranging in size from 4cm-6cm. In other cases, when growth is focused on your clitoris, labia, or vulva, an increase of 1-4 cm is visible to you. These changes may even be visible to your external surroundings through your clothes. The clitoris will significantly enlarge in length and circumference. However, it is essential to note this growth is related to your body’s response to testosterone as an individual. For some, an inch is the only change, and for others, it takes time before you notice any slight increase in size.

Surgical Options and Considerations

Phalloplasty

FTM individuals can also opt for phalloplasty, which uses muscle tissue from other body areas such as the legs and thighs to create a phallus. The tissue is reshaped, contoured and reattached in the genital region to create a penis. In this case, the penis created is always more significant and more typical in look. Phalloplasty requires other considerations, such as a penile implant, to help you have an erection in the future.

Metoidioplasty

In Metoidioplasty, the surgeon will use existing tissues from your genital areas to create a phallus. It uses the enlarged clitoris to create for you a penis which is a form of gender-affirming procedure and usually takes about six weeks for a full recovery. The new dick, often called neo phallus, can be as long as 4-6 cm.

Urethroplasty

In urethroplasty, the surgeon will create a passageway for the urethra after creating the new phallus. The aim of urethroplasty as a form of bottom surgery is to facilitate urination while standing. It can be done in the absence of metoidioplasty or phalloplasty.

Vaginectomy

In vaginectomy, the surgeon will remove some or parts of the vaginal tissue. This is done before metoidioplasty or phalloplasty and is often done to patch up the vaginal opening. As a gender-affirming surgery, it is done by making incisions along the vaginal canal and has few complications compared to other gender-affirming surgeries.

Scrotoplasty

An FTM needs a scrotum and scrotoplasty offers just that. In scrotoplasty, the surgeon will make a scrotum using tissue from the labia. Others opt for testicular implant tissues to make the scrotum. This surgical procedure often goes hand in hand with metoidioplasty and phalloplasty.

Factors to consider

Here are the factors to consider before selecting any surgical option;

FTM patient readiness

Your healthcare provider will assess your emotional and mental readiness for any needed bottom surgery. Taking into account how the surgical changes will affect your body is essential. As a result, it is advisable to take your time to assess your gender identity, gender dysphoria, and surgical goals that you anticipate.

The Reality that comes with surgery

Because of both risks and benefits, FTM individuals need to understand the pros and cons that come with bottom surgeries. For instance, genital surgery altercation is a significant change for FTM individuals, and consequently, having realistic expectations concerning scarring, bleeding, and pain, in general, is crucial.

Social Support

Having a support network when undergoing bottom surgery is crucial. Consider the role of friends and family in ensuring your financial outcomes, recovery, and post-operative care. The role of social support before and after bottom surgery of any kind cannot be downplayed.

Health and well-being recommendations

Your healthcare provider will advise you on your lifestyle choices before the procedure. Your pre-existing medical conditions will also be examined. For instance, they are likely to recommend you quit smoking to reduce your risk of complications after surgery. Other recommendations on how to care for yourself after the procedure will also suffice.

Financial Factors

Surgeries are sometimes costly, especially if they are not medically insured. Considering which types of bottom surgeries align with your financial goals is essential. Consider traveling costs, post-operative care costs, procedure costs, and time off work, including but not limited to medical options costs.

Challenges and Societal Perceptions

Physical challenges

Physical challenges such as discomfort in your underpants are likely to suffice once you have your T dick. You are probably not used to an enlarged clitoris as a T dick. Thus, it might feel bigger for your undergarments, causing friction and further physical discomfort. Also, you are likely to experience vaginal dryness as testosterone is likely to make the vaginal walls thinner while altering your Ph. You are also more prone to get infections. Additionally, the scarring and tissue changes from the surgery may present pain and discomfort.

Reduced arousal

In some cases, you are more likely to take time before you get turned on with your T dick and even get lubricated compared to previously. It is advisable to stick to protective barriers if you engage in penetrative sex; thus, using condoms or gloves is recommended to protect you from the risk of contracting STIs. Also, you can opt for a lubricant made from silicone to make sex for you more comfortable.

Societal Perceptions

As an FTM individual, you are likely to receive stigma and discrimination for your T dick as some will find it unnatural that you altered your anatomy. People may bug you with questions in a bid to understand how it is that you pee if you get aroused, including and limited to all other questions pertaining to your sexuality. However, the good thing is that nobody has to know what you have going on between you, your pants, and your surgeon.

Conclusion

After your bottom surgery, you are likely to feel a sense of relief for gender-affirming yourself. With a T dick, you will feel more confident in and out of the bedroom. However, it will take you about six months to heal from the physical pain and discomfort of having a bottom surgery. You will also experience societal pressure and judgment for changing your anatomy; for instance, issues with using the bathroom may arise. Even so, the positive impact of having a T dick will override these challenges as you will be able to navigate yourself in the world with an assured confidence and surety that this is what you wanted and it is what you ultimately received.
