Not to mention the months of being stabbed in the genitals and taint with electrified needles just to get ready for the surgery and recovery.
I had to do that for over two years ๐ญ
I am so not looking forward to this part
My doc got me some serious topical shit from a compounding pharmacy : 30% benzocaine, 6% lidocaine, 6% tetracaine. Gotta put it on at scale and rub it in really thoroughly (use an exam glove for this so your fingers don't go numb), and cover it with plastic wrap. Do that an hour to 90 minutes before the appointment, and have a gummy on the way in.
That made it survivable for me, still not fun tho.
Not to mention that the surgery is so awfully unnatural, that they make you shove some plastic material up in your make pretend baby maker, only to end up with a high probability of massive infections, your body, naturally, rejecting this cavity.
Have you... seen those infections? How about the surgeries to remove that plastic peg? I enjoy watching surgeries, but that... that was too fkin fked in the head.
