Reduce the amount of noise around the house as you can. I struggle with the buzzing of neon lights and broken charging cables. Turn down the base when listening to music with your child as that could also be hard to handle. At least from my experience with **sensory hypersensitivity**.
Libido increase, bottom growth (it can hurt), you're gonna be stinkier and oiler which means more acne (acne everywhere), you're gonna be WAY hotter, like so much **hotter**, the hot flashes are wild bro. You might want to talk about going on a specific type of T that will help you not lose your hair or you might experience male pattern baldness and hair thinning. Your dysphoria might actually get WORSE. Jsyk. Pay attention to your medical history for men in your family, especially Cholesterol! You'll probably gain weight easier. Get ready for wild mood swings and being angry about everything. Like, all negative emotions will be replaced with anger haha. When that happens, tell your doc and they might lower your dose a lil C: That's all I can think of, good luck! Despite all of that, I have no regrets about 9mos in.
Recovery from a lumpectomy can involve some pain and **sensitivity** in the area of surgery. It's common to feel a lump in the area afterwards due to scar tissue and the inflammatory process, which is part of the healing process. The duration of pain varies as individuals heal at different rates. Using a U-shaped pillow or body pillow can help with sleeping comfortably after the surgery. However, any concerns should be mentioned to your doctor for peace of mind.
