I suppose everyone is different but I did not experience hot flashes until after being at castrate level for a few weeks. Castrate level for me tested around 15 with zero estrogen. I now take low doses of estrogen with no testosterone and the hot flashes have been eliminated. My testosterone level ...

Hi Feedback,

Your story is much the same as mine. I am over 60 now but had a bilateral orchiectomy at 59. I had been on hrt for quite a few years and it did make me agressive, angry without cause, moody, and a host of other things. I too wanted to have them gone and began to be abusive to them ...

Scrotum removal??? My Urologist was against removing the scrotum at the time of the bilateral orchiectomy due to the swelling from the surgery. I waited six months and hated the hanging scrotum which showed no signs of shrinking. I had no trouble finding a cosmetic surgeon who was willing to remove ...

Interesting posts. I kept my scrotum for about six months after bilateral orchiectomy and it drove me nuts in the heat of the summer. I had no difficulty in finding a plastic surgeon to remove it and insurance paid for it. A "scrotal reduction" is easier to pass the insurance than a "scrotum removal ...

I guess my body is really weird. I have been on shots that took my peak T levels over 1300. I have been completely off HRT for periods of time and am currently off. At levels of 800 or so I had problems. I feel better, have as much energy, lose weight (15-20 lbs.) each time I get off HRT. I am ...

Every day I am aware of there being nothing there but it is a good feeling. When I feel and touch the area it makes ...

bfleish,

Sorry to hear about your post-op problems but the Doc is right, they will disappear and the swelling will go down. Fortunately, I had no swelling or drainage from my orchiectomy. The Doc did both sides through the scrotum and there was very little swelling and no drainage. I kept it iced ...

I had a bilateral orchiectomy in 05. It was performed through the scrotum and the cords were tied and left dangling. They made their way into the inguinal canal where they attached themselves and became uncomfortable. Any rubbing of tight clothing , massage, sex, etc caused pain. I complained to ...

I have been a eunuch for over a year (Nov 2005) and am married. My wife was included in the decision to have the surgery and accompanied me to the surgery center. In Dec. 2006 I had the scrotum removed. Both operations were performed by qualified surgeons, the first by a Urologist, the other by a ...
