Wearing diapers post OP?

[Saschadzg]

Hello,

[AwakenEvil]

I wonder if they would keep you diapered if you did or if they would cath you?

[Elfy]

Well from what I have heard, you really can't wear for a while.

[Elfy]

I wore in the OR when I had knee surgery.

[twospirit]

Been totally incontinent due to illness and nerve damage since early last year. Finally resign myself

[DiaperedJulia]

Yay a topic I can be an expert on!

I avoided wearing for about 5 months after GRS, and after that kind of went back to wearing occassionally. I didn't end up healing right had had to have a minor revision after about a year, which actually caused some nerve damage and I was incontinent for about three weeks. I managed quite well, although my surgeon was horrified when I told her. All in all, I wear nightly now with no issues. I would just make sure you rinse your bits well in the shows will a hand held sprayer.

I am not trans, but i have to say that my friend who had the op. Had to be diapers post op and she lived and understood diapers and

[Saschadzg]

@Kukki Thanks for your understanding.

[Kukki]

i am glad you think i am understanding, but to see first hand the things to have to do, the hoops you have to jump through. hugs to everyone who reads this

It still seems like a lot of people have missed the point of this thread...

This is in the "Rainbow Diapers" section not "Incontinence - Medical" or anything like that. I'm fairly certain the OP was referring to wearing nappies specifically after SRS rather than any old surgery, and I think they were referring more to can you physically do it (in terms of infection and letting things heal) than the classic "Will doctors say anything?" question.

I'm not saying people who have had other operations have no experience of this but SRS is a very specialised surgery that alters things down there dramatically and comes with a lot of things that need to be done to make sure it heals properly. I think for a lot of things you could wear afterwards no problem, but for this the rules may be different.

I feel like only Kukki and DiaperedJulia noticed this! Though Kukki's answer somewhat surprises me since I though you putting a nappy on afterwards would be avoided as much as possible for a while because of the potential for complications. I'm guessing if you are incontinent though there isn't a lot that can be done to avoid the issue.

This thread definitely means "after SRS surgery". Please stay on topic here.

I've had to do a thread clean-up here due to Trolling/Being an ass, which is against site rules. This more tightly regulated forum is for LGBT persons and their support, and anything else in this forum is a violation of the rules posted at the top of this forum

Keep on topic and supportive or don't post here.

Iv'e had surgery on the end of my penis at around 10 years old to "cure" me of bed wetting. I had sutures right at the tip where they enlarged the hole so I could completely empty my bladder fully. I can tell you without any doubt what happens when urine (which is acidic) comes into contact with a fresh wound, it burns like the fire of hell.

they never catheterized me, but fresh urine is sterile so it shouldn't infect you. Sitting

Those who have related their post-op experiences to me indicated that the diaper was mostly due to temporary incontinence, and their not being ABDL meant they changed it immediately on use which would mitigate any sanitation issues well enough. Some also said it was useful to keep from making messes with the 'wound discharge' from the area operated on; again it was changed very frequently and not used as the primary 'wound' covering. I only know of one who became urinary incontinent permanently after SRS surgery, but it can happen and I'm sure they aren't the only one. Thing is that when you truly need this surgery you will accept risks and conditions which nobody else would tolerate because there is simply no way to avoid them. In my lifetime, MTF SRS has gone from a very experimental surgery that gave widely varied results to one with far fewer risks of complications and far better, more consistent results, some of which are so good that nobody doing an external examination would suspect the past situation

As I've explained before this forum is NOT FOR GENERAL DISCUSSION, NOR IS IT FOR NON-LGBT USE. I've had to clean this up twice now and I'm not going

to do that again. To be clear enough so the you understand:

This thread is NOT ABOUT KNEE SURGERY NOR WILL I TOLERATE COMMENTS FROM THOSE WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF SRS AND OF THOSE WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS! GENERAL MEDICAL ADVICE IS NEITHER NEEDED OR WELCOME AS THIS IS NOTHING LIKE ANY OTHER SURGERY NORMALLY ENCOUNTERED,

And whoever disregards this will be receiving a weeks site-wide suspension, and even more if you persist. If you don't know for sure whether you should be posting here then it's likely that you shouldn't. I try to be tolerant but I have limits and a very mean attitude toward those who persist in causing problems in this forum.

I worry about this.

[Bettypooh]

I personally know of two who became incontinent post-op, but none who were like that pre-op.I do not see where it would be a problem in qualifying for the surgery although they may want to alter the treatment plan to compensate. Of the two I know, one has taken it in stride, but sadly the other has allowed it to cause her to become reclusive; she wanted to be what she envisioned as a "perfect woman" post-op and she feels she isn't. That was an unrealistic goal and it should have been better addressed beforehand but there's no "earlier" available now and she does not want to try to get through this issue now so until she's willing to accept herself as being OK all we can do is support her and make sure she knows we don't see her self-perceived imperfections as mattering to us. None of us is perfect and we never will be.

Life is what it is and all you can do is make the best of it.

I just don't want to be denied surgery because of my bladder issues.
