Yes, bottom growth can sometimes be painful.
Within the transgender community, "bottom growth" (also often referred to as "lower growth") describes the enlargement of the clitoris experienced by many individuals taking testosterone. While this growth is a desired effect for many, it isn't always comfortable. Here's a breakdown:
-
Physical Discomfort: The rapid growth itself can sometimes cause physical discomfort. This is because the surrounding tissues are stretching and adjusting.
-
Pain: In some cases, the discomfort can escalate to pain, especially during growth spurts.
-
Timing: While some experience the majority of their bottom growth in the first year of testosterone use, others report growth spurts happening years later.
-
Individual Variation: It's important to remember that everyone's experience is different. Some individuals may not experience any pain, while others may find it quite uncomfortable. The intensity and duration of discomfort or pain vary widely.
Therefore, while bottom growth is a typical effect of testosterone, it can, unfortunately, be accompanied by physical discomfort or pain for some individuals.
