Dr. Kimmel is very good and experienced at what he does. But as it is with all older persons, some of his information (i.e. "dial soap" may be a little antiquated But when the other guy is the one that is the expert It's usually better to just go along with them anyway.

i asked him about the cords reattaching in the consult, i cant remember exactly what he said but it was along the lines that there is no possiblity of them reattaching. it seemed like it was a non issue for him. when i call him back i will ask him this again.

i dont know if he had me use the antibacterial soap for prevention of infection of prevention of dirty balls.

I guess that shows what I know. I had no idea Dial was an antibacterial soap. I was told to use some weird medical soap you buy at the drug store pharmacy.

Well Dr Kimmel should be tuned into the problems with cords or? My surgeon and my pain doctor both made a large fuss about this and I've read a lot of accounts of it being a continuing problem to men who have undergone Orchiectomy. Perhapes he has some technique that limits that problem that I'm not aware of. Oh! And I know of at least two guys on EA that had issues with Cord Adhesions.

This is one reason why I suggest men insist on a Radical / Inguinal Orchiectomy vs the Scrotal. I'm also puzzeled how he gets the testes out with one incision down the middle? I thought the Testes were in "chambers" so they are not in one "pouch" together. I wish DonFL was here to answer some of this. I sure miss him...

:(Once the sack is opened he enters each chamber from a inside cut. He makes two cuts from the single external cut. Hope that helps a little. This is some what common way of doing castration.

Dial was used exclusively in the hospital where I worked for patient hygiene.

I insisted that my cords be cauterized after they were tied off. This kept me from having adhesions. Of course it would also prevent internal bleeding if they were not tied off properly.

let me just update this real quick so i can be up to date and not in flashback mode. the days following the surgery i laid in the hotel with my legs elevated and kept ice on the area. there was not much pain, some just along the incision. my days consisted of changing my dressings, getting ice and answering the door for the chinese food man... the good life. i wanted to watch some of the playoff basketball games but they werent on any of the channels in my hotel room so i went down to watch it in the sports bar there in the hotel. i saw a group of 20 year old guys all watching one tv so i went to go see if they were watching the game i wanted to see. it turns out they were watching american idol and looked really into it. i sat down at the bar and had to ask them to put the game on one of the tvs. i have no balls but im still the manliest man in the place.

the next couple days were just about the same, i walked around a little, i didnt do much site seeing. i saw dr kimmel on thursday morning, he did some examinations and said "i can tell you followed my instructions." he said everything looked good. he gave me instructions for the next month and told me how to take out the sutures out, im not really looking forward to that. then we parted ways.

my flight home was on friday night, the plane rides this time were a little better. i brought my own bottled soda on the plane. it rained in philly on friday so i was delayed by 20 minutes to my connector flight in SLC. i guess i was the last one they let on board. i sat next to a little kid. we were just sitting there and he goes, "hey mr....how did you get so big?" when i was your age i always kicked the seat in front of me........no no i cant say that... how about when i was your age i always gave the stewardess a little rap on the butt to thank her for the peanuts. after some thought i said "i always listened to my mom and dad, thats how." then his mom, whom i didnt know was listening, turns around from the row in front of us and looks at me with a desperate look and in a loud whispers goes, "THAAANK YOUUU!"

a week later and i have really nothing to report in the way of change. i thought there would be a faster drop off of T, but as of right now i have not experienced any side effects. i know i had a very high T level coming into this, during high school football they tested us to see if they could legally put us on steroids. i scored 1350 ng/dl.

Thanks for the update. With such naturally high T levels, you might indeed take longer to feel any side effects.

Enjyed your account of the procedure. Mine was done through the inguinal canal in two surgeries. I was very glad to get mine out. No more pain.
