I have a consultation for minimal depth in the fall. I'll be 50, wlw, so depth isn't needed. We're both increasingly worried about problems or complications. The plumbing works, and isn't so bad. Can I get some insight from someone with orchi only... how is intimacy, any complications, etc?? Thanks in advance...

I’m 73 year old trans woman. I had zero depth vaginoplasty on Dec 9th. I had no complications and very little pain. The hardest part was I couldn’t sit for 5 weeks - I could only lay in bed. I could do mostly everything else as long as it wasn’t strenuous and over 5 lbs. Been back 100% since end of Jan. Totally happy!! Also being a lesbian made the decision easy.

I am super happy with my Orchi. I do have some regrets not going through with zero depth. My reasoning was the same as yours. I was afraid of complications and reovery.

Orchi plus or minus scrotectomy is fine altho if with scrotum removal makes vulvoplasty minimal or no depth a little harder. Penis usually considerably shrinks with HRT. Very few complications with this vs vaginoplasty.

How about intimacy, any loss of function after orchi?

I'm curious about muffing, but have never been able to get it... would scrotectomy remove the ability to do this (as I understand you need to get into the canal through the scrotum area). sorry if this is incorrect, like I said I've never actually done it.

I had an orchi and then had zero depth GCS 8 months later. Check out my posts and I'm open to questions if it can help.
