Re: Finally going to get castrated
Still somewhat swollen and some black and blue but healing is progressing. Looking forward to be fully healed.

Sounds like good progress, mine took a lot longer for the swelling to go down....

Re: Finally going to get castrated
I have had small amount of drainage but nothing more then some spots on the pad. I am surprised by the amount of dark bruising, not sure how long that will take to go away. I go back for a check up on the 4/10 I have not nocticed anything yet with hormones as I’m not on anything at the moment, I was about 250 T going into this. I have an appoint 5/8 to talk about hormones going forward.

Re: Finally going to get castrated
It’s been a tough 3 weeks, developed a hematoma that started bleeding more more and then my incision opened up and ended up having a plastic surgeon redo the incision and put in a drain tube. Just had a check up yesterday and it has really healed well. I go in next Tuesday to get the sutures out. Can’t wait to be fully healed. Still have a little swelling.

Finally fully healed and happy that I had it done. Not sure what direction I go with hormones, not anything for five weeks since surgery but I have an appt. Next week to discuss.

Fantastic news! :balsmilie Glad to hear your healing is finished.
Hormone-wise, I'm a fan of being on E patches, but it's a choice everyone has to make for themselves...

Re: Finally going to get castrated
Hormone levels are as follows
Testosterone total pre 284 6 weeks post opt. 6.4
Estradiol pre 124 6 weeks post opt. 25 (note I stopped taking it a week before surgery and now just started it again.)
Micronized Progesterone pre 2.0 6 weeks post opt. 0.3 I (Also stopped taking this the week before)
Just need to watch my diet now so I don’t gain weight.
