u/papi_chulo32 has had some problems since her stage 2 phalloplasty surgery. She had a catheter sutured in and it eventually got infected and caused necrosis. The phallus is all deformed now and she can't stop crying.

Mental health deteriorating
I had stage 2 in late February which consisted of debulking, UL, and scrotoplasty. Immediately after surgery I was mostly pleased with the direction that things were going but a lot has changed since then. Initially after surgery, I had a catheter sutured in for about 3 weeks and noticed there seemed to be some infection mounting coupled with necrosis. The left side of my penis where everything was stitched up started to open up and exposed the catheter at the tip. In the tip itself on the right side, necrotic tissue started eating away at the healthy stuff and so I’ve lost a lot of tissue as a result. My surgeon instructed me to do daily wound care, which has cleared everything up, but now I am 4 days post op of my complication repair. Basically my surgeon took a small skin graft and placed it over the opening on the left side of my penis. I’ve been keeping everything wrapped with ABD pads and coban but when I do my daily change, I can’t help but cry..
My dick is long and at varying stages of thickness and it just looks completely deformed. The base is still very swollen, mid shaft seems like what would be normal thickness, and my tip is skinny and just so malformed. These surgeries already take such a toll and it’s so disheartening to undergo all of this and still dislike what I see in the mirror. I just have no idea where things will go from here. I feel like I’m drowning and I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just wanted a semi-normal looking dick and now I don’t know if that’s something that will ever be obtainable for me. God I’m just so fucking sad right now..
