Knowing how much to inject is kind of a challenge!
Roger on that sparkey!
My own experience with a rather small, and single, dose of 0.5cc in each testicle says to me that smaller injections can ultimately end up quite successful.
I believe I may have taken longer than most to achieve significant reduction in the volume of my balls, but I also seem to have avoided a lot of the difficulties others have had with injecting larger volume.
In the original livestock studies, on which this method of castration has its roots, I firmly believe the objective was to achieve sterility in as short a period as possible.
The goal was not castration.
Testicular atrophy seems to have been a likely unintended side-effect of the injections.
It's been just about a year since I injected my balls. It took quite a few months before I observed significant reduction in the volume of my testicles.
In that time, the right testicle has become what I'll term a lifeless mass in my scrotum. The left seems to have a little life left in it in a small area.
The ultrasound identified adequate blood flow to both, negating the need to remove them immediately.
That said, the urologist has follow-ups scheduled every four months to observe any change in condition. He cautioned that I should prepare myself for their ultimate removal.
If that happens, that happens. Either way, I'm gold. I plotted this journey because I wanted small balls.
In the meantime, I've been toying with the idea of doing a smallish re-injection of the left testicle, targeting the area where I still have sensation.
It might be kinda cool to have 'em both killed off.
Best regards to all.
