    surgical procedure to remove prostate tissue via the urethra

    Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a surgical procedure used to treat urinary problems due to an enlarged prostate. During TURP, a surgeon inserts a resectoscope through the urethra to remove portions of the prostate that are blocking urine flow, providing relief from symptoms such as difficulty urinating and frequent urination.

      in Transgender 2 years ago
      A transgender individual is starting spironolactone and estradiol for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and is considering adding finasteride to help with hair loss. They are also planning to use minoxidil and microneedle, but are unsure if they need to use another anti-androgen or more aggressive treatments. A respondent advises against using pyri and suggests waiting to see if the HRT alone is sufficient before becoming dependent on minoxidil.
