I am not using any HRT and have had no real negative side effects other than weight gain. I have thought about asking my Doc but I think I will wait for a while to really drive my libido down.

I was castrated to save my marriage. My wife has little or no Libido (sexual intercourse is painful for her physically) and mine was very high. This was causing a great rift in our marriage and after months of counseling I decided it was best to take the old adage "if you can't beat them join them ...

My 6 months milepost is coming up this weekend. Life as a Eunuch has been ok for me so far. Not the life changer I was hoping for but better than it was. Still trying to get off the 25 lbs I gained while recovering. 10 lbs in 7 weeks so I should be back in the 170s by summer.

All I can say is good luck. I also tried injections (20 or so) to damage my testicles enough to warrant their removal by my urologist but at best he was only willing to remove the right one, the one with the biggest lump. After visiting him 5 times and spending enough $ to get my deductible met he ...

Just an update on my recovery. 7 weeks post op and I am still dealing with a swollen scrotum. It has finally gone down to about the size of a lemon and is still seeping blood from the incision. Doc says he is happy with how things are healing and is not surprised that things are going slow. I was ...

Things are very slowly getting back to normal. Bruising seems to be dissipating and the swelling is gradually getting better. Still have a scrotum that is the size of a baseball and very painful when I stand for more than a few minutes. Today I have had a nasty headache all day long. I have had ...

When Dr. Arnkoff did my Orchie he said he can usually cut open the scrotum and the testicles just pop out. They are kind of floating around in the scrotum attached by the cords. However mine were fused/adhered to the inside of the scrotum. This made removal difficult because he had to cut and scrape ...

The bruising was limited to the pelvic region and seems to be getting better in the last 24 hours. Dr. Arnkoff and I have been in contact since my surgery and I have sent him pics for his evaluation. He was not surprised by anything he saw so I have confidence in his ability to identify a serious ...

Thanks for the input guys. This is not my first time in the surgery rodeo so I am very aware of many of the complications that can occur. I have been taking the pain meds usually only when I can't take it any more, about 2-3 times daily. I have been taking a laxative every day and have had no ...

My T levels were tested before I started Androcur and were at 894 ng/dl. My Doc said I had the T level of an 18 yr old, that was 2 years ago. I had them tested several times in the last 2 years and they were typically in the 300 range. So yes the meds did help lower my levels but I can not say the ...
