not one that I’ve gotten but one that isn’t discussed much is urinary and fecal incontinence with longterm use due to pelvic floor atrophy
From my understanding that’s pretty rare. Also know plenty of cis women who’ve gotten that from age and/or childbirth.
In general, not enough research is done on longterm health, especially since maintaining longterm access to healthcare can be difficult for many. but here is one study on it: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38662108/
cw: mention of genital anatomy

whoa… this is super interesting. lowkey i’n curious if it’s a dysphoria thing. i’ve definitely noticed that, since being on testosterone, things function better down there if i regularly errr massage the vagina. but i could imagine that a lot of trans guys can’t or don’t want to because of dysphoria… and you might not see this in pre-testosterone transmasc folks since you don’t have it causing the PCOS effects… maybe it’s sort of the equivent of how trans girls gotta use or lose their dick
i had a friend who has been super worried about me suffering some kind of horrible infection due to atrophy (she had another transmasc friend who went through that). i was also worried about it for a while, until i discovered the aforementioned relationship re: massage above
i also wonder if this also applies to transmascs on testosterone who have had vaginectomies… godddddd i should go back to school so i can do research…
i made a longtermtestosterone community on here for people who’ve been on it on long time to share their experiences, because i had a similar reaction you did. i want to learn more, but most spaces are people talking about barely starting t. nothing wrong with that. i just am looking for more specific information.
