Hi,

Just wondering if any others that have been castrated experienced a sense of extreme exhaustion and mental confusion after their surgery.

I had been on Androcur for 8 months and felt fine (except for the breathing problem ) prior to the surgery, but 2 weeks after surgery I noticed that I was ...

Hi,

I did call Dr Kimmel and he feels that this is normal like you said.

Its just strange that the right side is ok , but the left seems huge.

He did have to give several extra shots of lidocaine in the chord so hopefully Its just a reaction to the medication.

No no signs of infection yet. I ...

Hi,

Its been 1 week since my surgery and all the reddish blue discoloration is gone from the scrotum and no pain , however my left chord is very swollen. The whole scrotum fills almost as full now as it did before surgery. I am wondering how common this is and if any others had a similar experience ...

Hi,

Just had my surgery last week ( June 1st ) from Dr Kimmel. So far I feel great except for the chords still being quite swollen. Just wondered how long I can expect this to last. Also for those of you that have had problems in the past how long before they showed up.

Thanks,

Hi,

Just wondered if anyone can comment on if they gained much weight after castration? I have been on Androcur and packed on over 20 lbs in 6 months.

Hi,

Just had my blood checked last week and the Dr is concerned due to my white count being high as well as several other factors being high or low. All I can find on the internet is to have your Red blood cell checked.

Now he wants to refer me to a blood Dr/oncologist to let him decide.

Has ...

Hi,

I am seeing Dr Kimmel next month for the procedure as was wondering how long after surgery before you can start exercising again. Also, how long did most of you take antibiotics and what kind?

I had the same experience with androcur raising my prolactin level.

My Dr ran the prolactin test just as a precaution since I was on androcur and was shocked when it cam back over 100.

I have decided to drop taking it since it is also causing me to gain alot of weight.
