Period issues and gender dysphoria

2020-01-04 06:55:18
First of all, I would like to say that I identify as a non-binary individual and have gender dysphoria due to my periods. I had my first period at 11 years of age and always had severely painful periods. I went to the doctor 3 years ago and my USG report said that I have a bulky left ovary. My gynaecologist prescribed me with medicines (I don't exactly remember their names) and I completed the course but the situation never improved. Now, I never had irregular periods but the have been getting late since the last two months. I missed my period this month. I'm beginning to get concerned but the fact is that I am looking for a doctor who would tell me if I can get a hysterectomy because I can't deal with this anymore. As my periods are a big source of my dysphoria, I would be glad to get rid of it and start my hormone treatment for transition. Please let me know what should I do.

This needs more discussion in person. contact directly. hysterectomy can't be the only chance as hormone replacement used will have the same effect with or without uterus
