The problem with your question is that damage is relative. Any time blood supply is interrupted, there is a potential for cell death -- damage. Whether the effects are noticeable is another issue. In the case of the testes, the main products are sperm and hormones. Hence, an indicator of damage ...

As with much in biology, there is no precise answer. Biological systems (e.g., humans) vary. However, the reservoirs for storing sperm in the body are not huge. My guess would be that you are shooting blanks now.

Ejaculator = forced expulsion of semen

Emasculator = remove or kill the balls

I'm afraid I'm a little skeptical on this one. My gut tells me that if a Burdizzoing (is that a word?) had actually happened, there'd be a trip to the emergency room followed by a trip to the psych ward. But I could be wrong.



Not necessarily. Quite a few years ago, I assisted with a burdizzo ...

If you go to the Henderson web site you do not see any reference of using the tool on young animals on the sack. Where did you get your information?

What is your plan if I am so bold to ask if the twisting fails? Or if it does not tare where you plan it to? The tare is above the twisting? Try to ...

Actually, the Henderson tool will work without opening the bag. As far as i know, only young animals are done "sac and all". For a fully developed adult, it is better to do one testicle at a time. (Obviously, individual practitioners may make different choices.) Twisting the cords individually is ...

I searched the forums and couldn't find any posts and also didn't think this fit in chemical or surgical castration so I posted here. Feel free to move it if it is in the wrong area.

What are your thoughts about taking the individual testicles and rotating them in say a clockwise (or counter ...

Just a comment on compounding. A medication that is "compounded" means that it is one made to order by a pharmacist. This is used where for some reason the doctor wants something different than what is available in the commercial products. The reasons may be extemely varied. A difference in ...

To all of those who knew and worked with Bboy, my deepest sympathies.

I got my Tri-Band Bander today. It is made by the same folks who make the EZE banders. The band may be the same one as used in their second model EZE, but I do not have one for comparison. At any rate, the band is made from thick-walled latex tubing as are teir other bands. The lumen is larger than ...

I got a new Nasco Farm Catalog today. There's a neat new bander called the Tri-Band Bander. Like elastrators, it uses fixed size bands. However, these suckers (at least in the pictures) look really strong and nasty. The tool is supposed to be suitable for larger animals and it stretches the bands ...
