Hi, I'm a 21 yr old guy with shrunken testicles with future castration a distinct possibility. I had problems during puberty in that I didn't develop as soon or as fast as other males. At 16 I had a rather small penis, 4" when erect, undersized balls, no facial hair and didn't get a clearly male voice. I also had a problem with the left testicle drawing up out of the sac. I had a corrective operation to fix it in place but during the next 5 years have had repeated trouble with infections, I've had epididymitis and orchitis several times over. It was cleared up by taking antibiotics but came back again. The current situation is that I now have badly shrunken testicles, they are less than half the size they should be and feel a bit hard and lumpy. Recent tests have shown that I am sterile and have low testosterone. I am waiting for further tests and scans. I've been told I may at some point I have to have a bilateral orchidectomy. This shook me up, another infection or further complications could result in being made a eunuch. So I'm trying to learn what I can in case I end up nutless.

It sounds like you got an orchipexy surgery to sew both balls into position in your scrotum. There are men who got that surgery and some of us who refused to have that surgery. Your balls might have had past damage from testicular torsions that didn t cause you extreme pain and left you numb nutted or with only mild pain or aches for a few days after your ball or balls untwisted.

Aside from the orchiopexy surgery, drs just watch to see if your balls live, die, or limp along only partly functioning. Since you have low testosterone, no sperm, and shrunken balls now, castration won t be that different for you if you must have a castration some day. Learning more on here is smart to handle your balls now and any future castration you might choose or need. .

Hi Frida and cutnbulls2ox, thanks for the welcome. I've already got more information in 1 day on the forums than 5 years of medical consultations. For me at the moment it's wait and see but I'm trying to learn as much as I can in the meantime. I was surprised to read that having a castration was such a simple procedure, done with a local and all over in 30 mins. One of the doctors spoke about having fake balls, I really don't want that, in fact after what I've read here I'd rather have a scrotal removal at the same time.

As far as I know I never had twisted balls, and though I don't remember 100 percent the operation was something to do with the left ball cord. Like you said If I got castrated now I might not notice much difference, I keep thinking I want to keep what I've got but I know you have to be realistic about it and be mentally prepared.

While you're coming to involuntarily unlike my doing it on a voluntary basis, it will not be that bad for you to have your testicles removed given what you've told us. Nothing will change in your life, other than you no longer have balls. You've already said you're sterile, and I'm guessing you're on some sort of hormone replacement? If so, your testicles are physically present, but left you long ago.

It's really not bad being a eunuch, the only thing that may be difficult for you is if you wish to get together with a woman and have kids, you'll need to adopt or use a sperm donor. But that is your reality at present, so again, nothing will change for you. And as you say you're bisexual in your profile, I can tell you from my experience, most men didn't care I didn't have balls. They still enjoyed being intimate with me. As for a female answer on that, I do not know, but perhaps another here can say something.

Welcome to the forums.

Thanks Losethem, what you say makes a lot of sense. I call myself bisexual but I've only ever dated two girls and didn't make it past first base, I've sexual relationships with 2 guys and neither were concerned about my undersized equipment. From some of what I've been reading some are really turned on by castrated guys. Like you said being a eunuch will likely feel just the same, I guess it's the finality of having the operation that makes me try to avoid it.

Hey there aron2100! Welcome to EA. As already posted, this site is a one stop shop. Everything you need to know and have been afraid ask. The removal of your testicle remains really depends on pain and the risk of further infection. If any of this occurs you would, healthwise, be better off without them. Its easy for me to say that but its a hugely personal experience to lose a part of your body. At your age you could try prosthetics. You may like them? Again, very personal. It may be wise to consider it before thinking about scrotum removal? Ive had guys and girls admire my sack less crotch. Again, its not what you are, its who you are. There is quite a good choice of hormone replacement that helps to restore male function and health. Plenty of support here for you. B

Hi Brycenosak, thanks for your welcome, you're right everything looks covered here, I'm amazed at the amount of information. I've never had any really bad pain but the continuous dull ache when the infection flairs up is pretty tiring. I've had a look at fake balls and can say for sure they're not for me. I don't have a big scrotum so I guess it wouldn't look a loads different but if I'm going to be done I'd like it as clean cut looking as possible.

Also lost one due to torsion. It was not fixed, and just misbehaved on its own. After it twisted, it was source of repeated trouble until it was decide to be not worth saving. I had an odd other one that was fixed in place, but also never worked right and eventually produced a lump. So they both went.

So how's life with no nuts? Very good, but it needed a period of adjustment and an understanding partner and PCP.

Hope it all works out for you!

Posted: **Wed Jan 02, 2019 7:54 am**

Hi and thanks, everything I've read so far says a period of adjustment is needed after having a castration, maybe a year or longer. I've gradually come to terms with the idea that this is the most likely outcome, I'm trying to prepare psychologically by learning all I can.

Posted: **Wed Jan 02, 2019 8:06 pm**

I know some of what you are going through, I had my testicles destroyed by mumps orchitis in Oct/Nov 2017. They were badly shrunken, hard and lumpy, scans and other checks showed them to be non-functional, I was advised that to avoid future complications it would be better to have them removed. I went along with it and was duly castrated. I also decided to have the empty scrotum removed but that was few months later. During the following year, 2018, I had a very up and down time. I found it very hard to begin with and had problems with TRT. Now a year on I've adjusted to life as a eunuch and am happy with my current situation. To start with I missed my balls, then after a few months I stopped thinking about it, now if I could somehow have a new pair I wouldn't want them. I agree that you should give yourself time to adapt physically and also psychologically to the changes that will occur. In my experience you may find life as a eunuch a lot more interesting than that of many uncut males, no reason why you shouldn't enjoy it to the full.

Posted: **Thu Jan 03, 2019 5:56 am**

Just so. Many folks here without nuts, and many have been so for years, and nearly all seem happy.

So, if functional nuts are not a safe option for you, there's plenty good life to enjoy. In fact, I believe that many here are much happier without than with!

Posted: **Fri Jan 04, 2019 3:05 am**

I'm getting scan results and an endo report tmw. I think Losethem is quite right, my testicles may be physically present but left some time ago. They've been shriveled up, a bit hard and lumpy feeling for a while now and expect to be advised to have a bilateral orchidectomy.

Posted: **Mon Jan 07, 2019 4:13 am**

Hi Aron, How did your results and endo report pan out? Hope you are well

Posted: **Mon Jan 07, 2019 5:09 am**

Hi Brycenosak, the results were that both testicles are dead and should be removed. It is what I expected so not a surprise. In a way I'm glad it's over with, I can have the operation and then get on with life. I should be castrated sometime fairly soon. I'm going start testosterone replacement injections starting next week, I'll be monitored so that the level can be adjusted for the best results.

Posted: **Tue Jan 08, 2019 12:39 am**

I'm scheduled for a bilateral orchidectomy on Mon Jan 21. The operation will be done by incisions through the scrotum and with local anesthetic.

Posted: **Tue Jan 08, 2019 3:57 am**

Good on you aron. Life will go on. You will have your ups and downs, You are not alone. I was castrated in 2002 and I still have my 'moments'. Times when I wish I was a normal, intact male and none of this happenend. Others when I'm happily proud of who I am. I've earnt it. Being a eunuch is not something thats obvious. Not many will understand. So its important for you to be part of this group, to get the support and understanding you deserve. It has certainly helped me! I now know that eunuchs are 'hot'!! lol. I'm glad theyr starting your T replacement. Getting that tuned in makes a huge difference to your male function, mood and health. Just think of it as this operation will make you better. You can restart the clock! Keep posting aron, Let us know how you are going. There are plenty here who have been there, but only you know what its like for you.

Posted: **Tue Jan 08, 2019 4:36 am**

Get going on the TRT and get the dead nuts taken out and things will start looking up. Since what's being removed doesn't work anyway you've got nothing to lose.

Hi there Aron. Was thinking about you and wondering how your hormone replacement was going?

Posted: **Sat Jan 19, 2019 4:22 am**

aron2100: looks like you're on the path that many who come in here wish to be. Best of luck on it all. You may want to consider having the scrotum removed at the same time since you have no desire for prosthetic balls. I only mention this because so many who become castrated for medical reason eventually find the empty scrotum bothersome. As for me it was voluntary and I got rid of everything at the same time and have never regretted it. But I read many who are not happy with an empty scrotum dangling down there. Far less expensive now that later. You can still have all the male benefits except having fathering children of your own blood but life will indeed be great going forward.
