A willing doctor to perform a bilateral orchiectomy is one. Second is that I have no one to help me after surgery. Third, I work an active job with a good bit of lifting and I can't just tell my boss I can'y lift due to having been castrated. Any other way, I'd hop on the operating table in a second.
Orchidalgia is a sound medical reason for having one's testicles removed. The only help that one needs after the surgery is for someone to drive you home because the hospital will not release you otherwise. You would get instructions from the surgeon not to lift anything over ten lbs for two weeks following the operation. Your boss should put you on restricted duty based on the doctor's note and you don't have to tell him why. Good luck.
