John Malhotra, a 45-year-old transgender man,...
John Malhotra, a 45-year-old transgender man, presented with intense pelvic pain and a large, discolored swelling. He had undergone gender-affirming vaginectomy and phalloplasty six weeks prior. He was deeply distressed, fearing surgical failure and infection, and was reluctant to seek care due to past negative healthcare experiences. His surgeon identified a postoperative vulval (neophallus base) hematoma. The doctor affirmed John's identity, explained this was a known surgical risk, not a failure, and recommended drainage to prevent tissue damage and aid healing. The procedure was performed in the operating room. The physical relief was instant. His recovery involved wound care and antibiotics. Emotionally, he transitioned from anxiety and dysphoria, feeling betrayed by his body, to feeling validated and cared for. The respectful treatment reinforced his trust in medical care and his surgical journey.
