Questions for those who went from chemical to surgically castrated...

[WannaBeSmall (imported)]

So I'm going to be surgically castrated soon (legitimately and NOT by a cutter) and I was wondering what (if any) changes I could expect going from chemically castrated to physically castrated.

Ive been on 100mg of Androcur for exactly a year now and my experience has been pretty consistent. What I've noticed:

1) I get out of breath pretty easily when doing something slightly more strenuous than normal, eg walking up a hill

2) Body hair has reduced in places, although regrowth seems to be the same as before (same speed etc)

3) Libido is almost nonexistent, but I can get off when I want to, and it's not difficult to do so. I still get boners easily.

4) Ejaculate amount has decreased a lot, I'd say it's about a quarter of what it used to be. Still not watery though

5) No hot flushes!

I plan to start on esfrofem in a month or so, I want "some" feminisation, just no boobs. Im not sure if I'll continue with the raloxifene or not

interested to hear any of your experiences!

I too would dearly love to hear of anyones' experience in this matter. Whilst I don't want to attain any feminisation, I would like to know about the change over from drug suppressed T to 'naturally' low T. To my naive mind, it would appear a fairly simple matter of just desisting with the testosterone suppression once the nuts are gone, but nothing is as simple as it seems to the naive, is it?

I am not surgically castrated, but I am guessing you will see the shortness of breath disappear soon after stopping androcur. That's seems a particular side effect of androcur and not low T. Best of luck ��

I was on androcur (later triptoreline) for 3 years before surgery. The side effects are less with natural low T. Had some weird ones with the chemicals.
