Plication surgery
Hello everyone, for my own personal wellbeing I won’t be using my government name. But you can call me Z, I’m 20, and I underwent penile plication. I knew from a very young age something was wrong with my genitals, and like many of you it caused a lot of anxiety, depression and insecurity. I started to look for solutions and soon realized that nothing but surgery would fix my issue.
I will admit I didn’t try the other options like pills and whatnot, I felt that they wouldn’t help so I didn’t even invest my money. (Also I had no money).
The entire surgery was incredibly expensive, 68 thousand dollars, I’m fortunate to be born in America and to have amazing insurance from my university that helped me to be able to pay for this.
I’m writing this to say that the journey has been tough, but to anything thinking about surgery I say it’s worth It. Ik when I was younger I was desperate to find stories of people who were also going through this so know that you’re not alone.
I’m currently on week 3 of recovery, so I’ll give updates and if you have any questions feel free to ask. My advice is if you are young and live in a city, get it checked out and if it’s deemed medically necessary, you can get a lot of the procedure paid. Also universities give some of the best insurance.
