Liver Transplant Sexual Complications

I am on the liver transplant waiting list and since I am a small man, I may be a closer match in size to a female donor.  Since the liver affects hormone levels, will a female organ affect my testosterone levels and male sexuality?

Only if you cross dress during recovery.   No, seriously,  nothing to worry about.  It doesn't work like that.

You are not told the gender, race, name of donor, nor city or area of where the liver came from. You're only told the age. If you decide to cross dress that's your choice and has nothing to do with a liver transplant.

Can't give you any words of wisdom there, since I'm only at week 10, but I sure don't know how you could have been "great" for 28 wks.  How could anyone be great on this stuff?  For 28 wks?  You're a lucky dog!  My experience is that I'll get some troublesome side effect--it can be anything: nosebleeds, back pain, dizzyness.  And it will just hang in, day after day.  When I'm about to freak...it suddenly stops.  And a totally new and different side will start in.  Depression and fatigue are pretty regular here.  So...if you're just now feeling a bit overwhelmed by sides, all I can say is you're so lucky to have the first 28 wks easy!  And maybe what you're going through...whatever it is...will just be a spell, like those I've described, where they just torment you for awhile and then go away.  If not, and it gets too hard to function, there's always meds to deal with the meds.
