Urethra depilation cream - MJG - 02-11-2017
Hi Guys,
It's a bit unusual problem that I have - but maybe some of you had similiar issue or heard about it.
I'm 1,5 year after RFF Phalloplasty and as my donor site was hairy (despite laser epilation for 6 months) so is now my urethra, not much but still.
My urologist told me she heard about something like urethra depilation cream but as it was couple of years ago she can not recall any details neither the name nor the company that produces it, so I'm wondering if anyone of you heard of such thing?
Any information will be helpful

I have not heard of any but will contact my dermatologist and ask her.

It is a thing, here's a study:

...but I have not heard of trans men using it. Some guys have had to get the hair removed with a laser via urethral scope. Other solutions (for cis men) are discussed here: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/criu/2012/769706/

Joshua, thanks a lot.
I read the first article earlier and tried to get in touch with authors to get more details, with no success though.
I haven'e come across the 2nd article and it has some more details so I'll get that one to my urologist and I hope she'll take it from here
