Medical Concerns

So I've been wanting castration for a while, I've combed through a libraries worth of research, articles etc to learn as much as possible... But each time I come close to taking the next step, there's is always a small voice that says to me "Think of the consequences"

My question for all the eunuchs out there. How did overcome your concerns off all the consequences of becoming a eunuch? Such as affording/acquiring testosterone replacement (either costly from dodgey sites or prescription from the NHS), long term health effects (breast, weight, bone issues), and the actual procedure itself (Pretty risky if it's not done privately/NHS.

You are right to think of spending the rest of your life as a Eunuch before making a decision. However, I read here and elsewhere that very few men who choose voluntary castration regret their choice. I image your biggest obstacle will be finding a doctor willing to remove healthy testicles in the UK. The only way I am aware of in Europe is to jump through the "transgender hoops", which can involve taking testosterone blockers and female hormones and at least claiming you are living as a female.

As for the surgery itself it's remarkably simple, relatively painless and recovery is fast (you can watch the procedure on my blog). Once free of you boy bits obtaining testosterone under the NHS should be cheap or free (claiming: "I was trans but changed my mind"). Otherwise I have no idea of the retail costs in the UK but in the US it's around $20/month with a prescription through GoodRx. You cannot buy trustworthy testosterone through the internet, although legitimate female hormones (estradiol and progesterone) are readily available and inexpensive.

If you do acquire testosterone just know it is not a panacea and comes with side effects such as raised red blood cell count and raised liver enzymes just to name a few. Some men report that T does not restore their libido if that is something you are after. I was quite happy without testosterone replacement and experienced only slight weight gain, some muscle loss as well as occasional lack of focus. However, I loved the effect it had on my moods. Yes, libido is diminished but does not entirely go away and what I liked most was it put me in control of my sex life, rather than sex controlling me.

For the past year I have been on low dose estrogen and quite satisfied with the results. It does raise libido and I maintain that "mellow" mood, but one side effect is gynecomastia.

Feel free to have a look at my personal blog for more information. Go back to older posts where I share a video of the procedure and personal experience. www.eunuchlife.blogspot.com. Also feel free to email me with specific questions.

Seanthomas thanks! It is the remarkable website! It is a lot of interesting data on our subject. There are illustrations and video (that it is not admissible to spread at forum EA).

I’m not gay. Wanted to make that clear. This is of great interest to me. I had hoped that testosterone would fix the libido problem. It drove up the numbers but oddly enough not much else. Polycythemia was a concern at the start. It did work at first.

I can’t pinpoint the time that the problem first surfaced although it was about 40 years ago. I was warned about the prostate problem and sure enough that happened. Even with the subsequent TURP procedure I still have to get up 2-3 times a night to pee. And sometimes it is hard to get a stream started. And that surgery was no walk in the park. It also seemed to have caused ED and reduction of sensation and retrograde ejaculation. That is really a bummer. Would never recommend it. It is actually regarded as major surgery. I didn’t know that.

I have followed this subject as the possibility of castration and HRT would permit normal activities. Although old, I am almost never ill. Evidently I am mistaken.

The penile vacuum pump can bring a semi erect state but it won’t last long. The only options left are the meds which don’t work well for me. And shots to the base of the penis.

I agree about the blog. Very helpful. Many thanks.

For my enlarged prostate a urologist suggested urolift as a mild solution. IT SHOULD BE CALLED PROSTATE PINCH! It was like Pissing razors and sitting lemons for the next six months. Very painful!

[Boogie77 (imported)]

Urolift? I hadn’t heard of that.

Did it work? That TURP had me in adult diapers for a couple of months. When I had to go, I had to run it else. Eventually it got better. But occasionally it still causes problems. But even before it was a problem. So it was a wash except the surgery caused ED and retrograde ejaculation. Seems like there has to be a better way.

I’ll have to research that. Thanks!

No need to be concerned, as nobody here cares about anyone's sexual preferences and you'll find welcoming support from folks representing the entire spectrum of sexuality.

Will do. This is a remarkable website. Many thanks.

I just recently spent time with a guy that had Ed, but had a surgery involving implants in the penis, groin/body and sac. It was a pump that filled balloons in his cock to make himself hard. I did not notice the difference betweenthat or a natural hard dick. Hope this is relevant to the topic. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-proced ... c-20384916

After years of CBT and banding left my penis without any feeling, I opted for an implant of this type. Still cannot feel anything but no issue getting hard. Look up penis implant porn images and I did a demo smashing a coke can to show firmness. Can answer questions if you have any.
