I initially found talking about menstrual issues with my male T is even more embarrassing and awkward for me than talking about sex. But one time when I brought it up, I mentioned how awkward it felt, and he said something like, "Oh my God, you have a period?!?" in this exaggerated tone of pretend horror. And it made me laugh (which I know was the point) and helped me feel more comfortable talking about it. Not fully comfortable, but just more comfortable. And the fact that he's been very matter-of-fact about it when I've brought it up since has helped. As in, he seems totally fine talking about it.


So I think acknowledging to your T that you feel weird and embarrassed talking about it can help. From how you described it here, it sounds like an important thing for you to discuss. If you don't think you can say it out loud initially, maybe you could write it down and hand it to him, if you're seeing him in person? Or if you're still seeing him virtually, send an email or use the chat feature if the software has one? (I know Zoom does, for example.) I think once you talk about it once, and see that your T is OK with it, it will gradually become easier.
