Surgical Castration

[Scottie0007 (imported)]

Hi all: Never posted here in this forum. Anyway I was sugically castrated bya

uroligist. the best thing was that Medical insurance paid for it, the worst thing was his technique. I had injected large amounts of lactic acid into my testicles. My balls where dead. after tests and ultrasounds everyone agreed that they had to be remooved. I also was glad to know that they where going at last. Free at last!!!! His proceedure was what is called a radical orcheictomy. the idea here is that they cut your lower belly on each side, and then bring the

testicles up throught the belly and the scrotum totally intact. I argued with my surgeon and told him to do the simple proceedure. He said the way he did it was his way or the highway, so I said ok. Well when he got inside he found that one of the testicles had fused itself to the wall of the scrotum and he had to stop the proceedure. He stiched my lower belly up, some 200 stitches on each side, then he had to cut the scrotum. He then had to scrape the tissue of the testicle from the wall of the inside of the scrotum. OUCH!!!!! Then he did the other testicle and it was fine and came out without an adhesion.

It is really important to tell you that if anyone is going to use the lactic acid dl that was in an article about 9 monts ago be real careful. It causes some real damage to the scrotum as well as the testicle. After I was all done. I then got an infection and it took over 3 monts for it to be cleared up. OUCH again. Ya know if I had it to do over again, even if I had to pay... I would go to a Doc that does the simple proceedure and I would have never messed with the lactic acid shots. Im ok now and I am a very happy eunuch. I am thinking of having my scrotum remooved also. If you want to communicate with me please feel free to do so. "and so it goes" scottie

I'm very glad to see you around and still doing fine. Your experience is a good lesson to us all.

Scottie0007,

Glad to hear you are doing much better now... I have experience with both procedures you mention. My left testicle was removed via the abdomen because of a cancer scare. That procedure included all the tubing that connects the testicle to your other organs. I my humble opinion, that is the way to go. I had the right side testicle removed via the scrotum and that is NOT the way to go if the sac is left in place. The scar on the sac is ugly, itches and is quite annoying. When the doctor removed the right side testicle, he was not able to cut out all the tubing I mentioned above and with my prostate still working (because of testosterone shots), it becomes full at times. Thus requiring me to empty it by self induced orgasm. I don't have that issue with the left side plumbing since it doesn't exist.

I too will remove the scrotum sac because it causes too many issues in my life like rash, irritation and inconvenience.

In my mind, the extraction of the testicle via the abdomen is the cleanest form of castration for the survivors...

Oh, is that why surgeons seem to prefer to remove testicles via the abdomen---so that the tubes that connect to the testicles can be completely removed?

When dealing with Cancer, yes, the doctors like to remove all components involved not just the testicle itself. Think of a Hysterectomy (http://www.hysterectomy-association.org ... c/what.htm), that is the female form of male castration (Orchidectomy (http://www.tc-cancer.com/orch.html) ).

Now I undestand why the sugeon did what he did. I do know however, that he didnt take the tubing cause I cum like a race horse when on my testosterone. However, I do believe he charted it as precancerous tissue so he would get paid, and I would be covered. scottie

Scottie,

Your prostate gland is next to bladder and not part of any plumbing removed when dealing with testicular cancer. Check out the 2 diagrams included here...

Both my balls were removed by a vet's ass't via small incisions (2 cm) in the sac. While there was pain for a few hours following the procedure, discomfort for a few more days, bruising for about 4 or 5 days and swelling that didn't entirely go away for a couple of weeks, healing was easy and without complications. The small incisions mean that some guys have searched for up to half an hour before precisely locating the incisions through which the organs were expressed outside the sac. That's partly because of shrinkage. Those 2 cm incisions are now maybe 5 mm. While I sometimes think the shrunken sac is ugly, its existence means that a lot o' people in locker rooms, on nude beaches, etc. don't know I've been castrated. They seem to assume that I've mini-balls in there.

I've endured major hernia repairs with abdominal incisions and am thus quite glad that the testicles were removed through scrotal incisions.

Your quite right Jeff. Castration is best preformed by removing the balls in the manner you were neutered. There is much less pain and the healing process will be faster. Healthy males souuld be neutered in this manner.

I was surgically castrated on 17 Oct 2003 by a urologist and unfortunately had some major complications, including an infection and hematomae that filled my scrotum to the point where I thought it would burst. Upon arriving home, I made an appointment with my reg urologist and he nearly had a stroke when I told him it was performed as an outpatient procedure in a physician's office.

It was necessary to undergo a 2nd surgery, in an OR with two doctors & nurses in attendance to remove hematomae and scrape out my scrotum. Believe me, this is not something anyone wants to have done unless absolutely necessary! Castration was relatively painless, the second surgery was anything but! He also installed two penrose drains, one in each side of my scrotum. These have prevented further build up of blood and fluids, so I have not swelled as I did from the initial surgery.

As my regular urologist informed me, not everyone's physiology reacts the same way. Many undergo the castration procedure I had without any problems at all. I happen to have had complications even though I followed the physician's instructions to the letter.

I have to say that I am very happy that I have been castrated and am now a eunuch. I don't regret for one moment that I had this surgery that I have wanted for many, many years. I do wish I could have saved myself the complications, however, as these have been a burden on my employer, family and friends. The first surgery I paid for out of my own pocket, the second must have easily cost $10,000 and I pray to God that my insurance will cover it!

Why did I post this? Just to let those of you who are considering castration, that even in a medical setting there can be complications.

A few members of this group have been of unbelievable support; I could never have believed that I would receive daily telephone calls from people I barely knew, wishing me well and standing by me every step of the way. Just unbelievable. You know who you are, and I cannot thank you enough!

Best,
