Calcium Chloride and Other Salt Injections for Castration

[Something (imported)]

Thought I'd post again. I haven't noticed any hormonal changes at all, and nothing major has changed with the shape of them in quite some time now. I've told myself I'll wait until the 10th of January before thinking of another plan though, just in case. The shape hasn't reverted or anything, they're still hard but... I can't see anything else happening now that it's been so long.

Something, at this point you might want to go to a urologist and get checked out. Who knows, maybe he'll examine you and recommend removing your testicles. One could hope. On the other hand, he might at least provide some medical clarity and give you some idea about what has happened to your testicles. That does not mean you must reveal what you did, on the contrary, you simply ask for answers to why they've become hard and why the shape has changed.

Something - Please don't reconsider using that device you were building. After several alcohol injections, the doctors will be willing to remove them surgically.

If you had a high testosterone level of 1200 mg/dl it may take a while. 10% of 1200 is still 120 ng/ml.

Something, you said you have felt no difference sexually. Are you horny normally? Just want a basic reference level.

Something I got a lot of adrenal androgens after mine and they still tested quite high over eighteen months later. It doesn't mean it's not worked

I think those of who have tried this method need to get testosterone levels properly checked. There is an online service I've found where you pay for the and them go to a local clinic that does the actual blood work. I just need to find time as I'm working ask holidays and then traveling early Jan.

Feelings are hard to use for gauging the effectiveness. I know one thing is that I've had drastic weight gain since injecting, almost 25 lbs in seven weeks! I'm normally extremely hard body, and for the first time in my life my tummy jiggles!

Overall though, sadly I admit that this method isn't as good as I'd hoped. I expected people would have less pain and more definitive results. Not sure why animal testicles seem to shrink so dramatically. My testicles are now at 50% their previous size, but not the Tony remnants I'd expected.

Let's see how our testosterone levels really do...

Sorry, but that still sounds really strange. You said you injected alcohol up to 100 times in past 14 months. That seems a) really obsessive, b) proof that that method isn't particularly effective. Secondly, if you actually had achieved castration with that method, then presumably your testicles were really small and hard, meaning that the dosing of CaCl would be difficult and also the absorption within the testicle versus seeping into the scrotum would be hard to control.

I don't think anyone here could have summed it up any better. You must have been on the debate team in school

Again, I think patience is key here. If I remember correctly, the bovine studies claimed maximum atrophy only after a period of 3 months and nobody here is quite that far along. Only in one case (bovine) was it stated that the testicles were re-injected after 7 weeks to shrink them down from 50% to nothing. We also need to keep in mind that our bodies need to absorb the dead tissue, a process that occurs slowly over time, not instantly as many of us would hope (including myself). If we were looking to compare the rate of human testicular deterioration to any of the animal studies, then I would think the bovine results would be the most relative.

As far as weight gain, try to stay away from the holiday treats SplitDik! I'm actually down about 5 pounds in the last two weeks, which is unusual for me since my weight does not normally fluctuate at all. However, I am a gym rat and my sisters are all very thin naturally so that may have a lot to do with it. I guess it's in the genes which makes me a very lucky girl in that respect

As far as my progress, I have only been experiencing a very slight discomfort in each testicle, sort of like a dull ache, mostly during the night when the scrotum is relaxed. I think ToomuchT has a good point about testicular atrophy and perhaps the reason for my slight discomfort. It is very subtle but nonetheless there and makes me think that the CACL is slowly dissolving the tissue as it is supposed to be doing. Time will tell!

Regarding testicle shrinkage, I think it is important to review the math. The papers reported shrinkage up to 10x but mostly much less. But the thing I want to point out is that this is measured by volume. it is important to realize that since volume is a cube function of radius, that if your testicle only shrinks 10% in length that it will have shrunk 30% by volume! So for example, my testicles have shrunk to half their volume even though they only shrunk to 80% by length.

This means two things. First you may not realize how much your testicles have actually shrunk because you might see that their dimensions haven't seem to have shrunk that much. Secondly, we need to reset our expectations regarding how much visually the testicles will shrink using calcium chloride.

If your testicles are 80% the size by dimension, then it has probably worked according to expectation.

This is a bit disappointing as I hoped the testicles might almost disappear, but now that I thunk through the math, the very most you can expect would be half the length and even that would be in the outside range.

The testicle isn't a ball with all sides of equal dimensions, so you need to calculate all the sides of the testicle. One side may have shrunk more than 10%

You should measure all the sides. One side may have shrunk more.

Formula: Volume= LxWxHx0,53
