Is there a healthcare plan for detransitioners?

[vivariumvivariumsvivaria]

My friend of a friend's daughter is detranstioning. I don't know her very well, and certainly not her adult kid - but I was an HCP.

The person is 22, had a hysterectomy about 4 years ago. Stopped cross sex hormones about 2 years ago. Has terrible pelvic pain, and is generally distressed about her situation, she says she is grieving for the choices she made. She has a long history of mental health challenges.

She is looking for help with the pain, but, as far as I can see, there is no care pathway for detransitioners.

Is that right? It's a while since I worked in the NHS, but I can't think of any specific help I can direct her to.

Thanks, Jay.

I was supposed to Skype with my friend last night, but she cancelled. I've sent her your details and we'll chat once things are less difficult for them.

Those big life altering decisions shouldn't be made by adolescents. Science now says the brain is not mature until 27 years old. 28 should be the minumum age for sterilisation and elective surgery. I know this advice doesn't help this poor young woman but it may help a girl in the future. A good therapist, one she can connect with can help, but it's mainly a case of accepting the irreversible facts.

I do agree, Seatime. She was mentally unwell prior to transition, it seems to have initially helped her mood but now, it sounds like she's quite unwell again, so I guess they have to focus on that before sorting her physical symptoms.

I'm guessing really, her mum's not able to talk just now. It's just all very sad.
