Male-to-Eunuch Case Study from Sweden

[JesusA (imported)]

The latest issue of Sexual Medicine, published by the International Society for Sexual Medicine, has an article that is a case study of a 40 year-old judged to be Male-to-Eunuch. My guess is that the individual involved is one of the members of the EA who lists his residence as Sweden. (There are 57 of them, only two of whom are very active here.) The article is brief, but published in an important location where it will gain attention from the medical community. It's also Open-Access, so all you need to do is follow the link below to get your very own copy of the article.

A Rare Case of Male-to-Eunuch Gender Dysphoria

Maria Hermann, MD and Andreas Thorstenson, MD, PhD

A B S T R A C T

Aim. The aim of this case report is to improve the awareness of this gender dysphoria both for the single patient interest as well as for the community.

Methods. This is a single-patient case report. Literature search and Internet browsing for forum concerning this subject were performed.

Conclusion. Healthcare professionals must be aware of this group of patients as they have a greater risk of self-harm

in order to self-castrate, which could be acute and life threatening if not performed in the right way.

Introduction

This report describes a patient with male-to-eunuch gender dysphoria. Men with this condition have a strong urge to live without testicles and have large difficulties in obtaining professional medical help. This may result in dangerous attempts of self-surgery or the injection of toxins in the testicles. A greater awareness of male-to-eunuch dysphoria in the health-care community is beneficial for all parts concerned.

This reads like a landmark document and another step towards wider understanding,

Thats good news of course.

Rare case? While there are on EA 12000 registered members only,

as most people of the world do not have access to EA for various reasons. Be it no internet access or language barrier.
