Hello
First of all, excuse the language, I'm not English and I use a translator
I am a biological man, but in society they see me as a woman (I am MTF).
I have done the "SRS" (I did it when I was young) and I would like to know what medical consequences I can have in the long term.
I am also enjoying reading experiences of other men who do not have testicles.
My genitals gave me dysphoria from a very young age, but now, as an adult, I am afraid of the medical issue.
Are there studies on life expectancy in castrated men?

Re: MI little history
My biggest concern would be what you are taking for hormones and what levels do your doctors try to keep you at.

Re: MI little history
There is SOME limited evidence that castrated human males may live longer, much of it seems to come from the 'historical eunuchs' where the medical science is far from great. There is much more evidence for castrated animals living longer, and it isn't unreasonable to think it would carry over to humans.
The good stuff includes almost no risk of prostate cancer, and obviously no risk of testicular cancer. You also avoid or reduce your risk for many of the other maladies that are more common in males.
The biggest risk is to bone health, you need proper amounts of EITHER estrogen or testosterone to get proper calcium deposits in your bones. If you don't get it, you are at greatly increased risk of osteoporosis, which gives a greatly increased risk of bone fractures. The best way to avoid this is to use hormone replacement therapy, take supplemental calcium, vitamin D3, and so on to make sure you are getting enough. Exercise, particularly 'load bearing' exercise is also supposed to help. You should also be monitored regularly for bone density if possible.

... ... ...
I can be attributed to one of these animals
.At least I always looked younger than my peers.
When I was 42, they gave me 24.
