If you have a prostate get a PSA

December 21, 2005 in Our Bodies Ourselves by Rebecca | No comments

I caught this post on prostate health for male-to-female TG’s at Dr. Rebecca Allison, M.D., web site.  It’s something I worried about early on as I was coming to grips with being transgendered, "gosh, what do I do about my prostate if I transition".   Now you’d think I’d be worrying about my makeup, my clothes or perhaps a Friday night date!  But nooo, I have to worry about my prostate as a male-to-female TG.  With thoughts like that it’s no wonder I still don’t have the hang of my new oval brush and hair dryer!

While many of us may want to totally forget about these parts of us, we still have prostate’s and, we can get cancer and die from it.   See these links here for more help and happy reading:

Study finds that lifestyle and diet changes may stop or reverse prostate cancer progression.  See that study by clicking here.
