EDS/Metoidioplasty: Hi. If you undergo transgender surgery, you have the same risk as everyone for the surgery - plus muscle recovery with EDS will be important post=operatively. You might have some systemic symptoms that might last longer than most but may do just fine. Rest and give yourself ample time recovery after the surgery and good luck!

FTM transgender: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 3 is the most benign form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Questions about metoidioplasty (female to male sex reassignment surgery) are best answered by a physician/surgeon who specializes in transgender care.
