Trans Talk on Sidechat | The biggest thing preventing me from starting E is that I don’t want my dick to shrink, I’m tired of hearing “use it or lose it” because it’s actually more like “use it to only lose 10-20%”, but I don’t want to lose ANY!! Why is this unreasonable to ask??

you can use tgel near your bits to retain usability and size, but it'll obviously raise your T levels. it's a trade off.

Penis pump? You may still lose some but you can gain it back

Is there a way to make it grow…asking for a friend. 😂

Does it shrink on lower doses for a limited time? That’s my plan.

Idk about testosterone but I know there’s localized estrogen that doesn’t raise whole-body levels and just works in the area it’s applied - there may be something like that. Separately there are tons of meds out there for ED, some of which also prevent atrophy while on E w/out reducing the efficacy of E

What I have heard is there are meds that people take (literally viagra - phosphodiesterase-5 drugs) before going to sleep that essentially cause enough blood flow in the area to do "maintenance boners" that otherwise don't happen on estrogen, and this effectively reduces/eliminates atrophy. It seems to be a very recent development that it’s prescribed for this purpose

They’re hit and miss. It becomes a chore, but the one I have helped a bit with length. Thickness it did nothing for.

OP 7w

basically the meds are vasodilators (make your veins widen). the reason T makes it big in the first place is because it also acts as a vasodilator. so if you remove T and add a vasodilator, you get rid of all of T’s other effects and still have sexual function. atrophy over time is due to your veins shrinking because they aren’t “stretched” open wide as often. so keep em “stretched” = no atrophy. def not an expert so maybe someone can fact check me here, but that’s my 2 cents

estrogen used as a localized treatment is for treatment of vaginal atrophy. i do not think that would work for trans women, who would need to slather everything but their penis in it for the concept to work
