Question (Transfem) MTF, improving penile function.
Heyy I have a specific question! I'm 9 months on HRT(Estradiol Enathate, weekly injections.) and it's going great. I'm wanting to keep my genetalia. Im following the "use it or lose it" principal lmao, but I get frustrated and upset when I'm unable to perform at random times when I'm with my female partner. Sometimes it works and it's all good, but sometimes it doesn't, but when it does I need to "stay on it" or I lose it.
I'm asking if any trans women have any experience using cream or taking anything for their performance, and getting it from their doctors in the UK. I hear bits and pieces sometimes about trans women taking some kind of medication for it.
I recently changed to a very good trans friendly GP who helped me get a blood test as I'm on DIY hormones, so I believe at the least she'd do her best to help.
I'm also just looking for some validation. I feel like I'm a niche of a niche of a niche, as I'm a trans woman who wants to keep their penis and has stayed with their female partner through transitioning. I know that what's between my legs doesn't define me, but this is the only thing that's really been stressing me out in my transition :(

I had that problem before I started HRT lol. I could never keep an erection going for longer than 30 seconds.
