My urologist removed my scrotum. He asked if I wanted some left or smooth. I told him smooth. I will have to wairt fro the heaing to be over before I know how smooth I will be. since it was done last Friday, I have some time to wait. I can say that it feels better without all that skin hanging down.

Wehn my urologist pergromed the orchiectomines, he said he could not remove the scrotu,, something about "didn't know quite how". That was three years ago.

When I went to him in July, I asked about havignit removed by a plastic surgeon. He decided he could do it for me. ($$$$) It is done and I really love my urologist for all he has done. Have not thanked him enough yet but I see him next month for followup and plan to thank him then. Unlike my first urologist, this one was willing to listen to me when I had my consultations with him.

Good luck to all who want it removed. Since I don't plan on anay operations that would require the use of that particular skin, I don't think I will miss it.

When I was looking for castration my personal doctor, an endocrinologist and a surgeon were receptive to the idea, the urologists were firmly opposed to the very thought of such a thing. I was eventually denied by the committee that oversees procedures. --FLO--

I was told by a Urologist that they are taught to avoid doing an Orchiectomy for anything but Cancer. "Some" make an exception for things like Orchialgia but even then I think its only after a great deal of soul searching.

One reason I started the Orchialgia Forum on Yahoo and have been talking about it is that it IS a valid medical solution to Chronic Testicular pain and while there are a variety of things that should be tried first it should not be this huge a deal to do under the right circumstances.

And outside of my own issue I think there are valid reasons for a man to want this surgery. Transexuality. Out of control sex drive for another. And more... The important thing is to be honest. Talk it out with the "right" doctor and don't loose hope.

Gapper, you should suggest to him to go into business.

Kimmell is very much raking in the $$$$$.

If he's a real urologist, it's like money laying around on the ground waiting to be picked up.

If Spector and Kimmell could/can do it, why can't he, then? Something to think about.

I THINK that you would have to contct the individuals directly since this site does not host pictures. I have taken only one picture of myself so far and the stitches were still in. After I get fully healed and seemingly back to normal, I will take more and post them on the yahoo orchiectomy site.(Yahoo deleted the eunuchs site).

Anyone who wants to share THEIR OWN pictures can post them somewhere online, such as Photobucket.com and then let those who want to see them know about it.

Just out of curiosity,

what if the testicles were not removed but were moved up into the inguinal canal,

(see drawing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gray1143.png )

and then have the scrotum removed to achieve a complete smooth.

This would be for those who prefer chemical castration and want to be smooth.

If this approach was medically possible, and there were no long term after effects, maybe this would help some Dr's get past their perceived obligation of not doing physical castrations; they would be doing something more like cosmetic surgery, not organ removal. Think of it as removing unwanted excess skin. A testicle tuck, instead of a tummy tuck.

Might even help keep the cost down. Curious if anyone has ever heard of this being done or if it is just impossible to do for medical reasons.

Undescended testicles (and surgically implanted ones) can have a higher cancer rate. Not sure if this is a good idea. Why keep your testicles and then take drugs to achieve castration? Seems counterproductive.

I do favor the smooth look, but not sure if I want it for me.

My wife's boy friend castrated me, testicals and scrotum removal. His older brother, an urologist (he refused to do it, but would repair whatever his bro. did), sewed me up. He pulled the skin together, latterally, forming a line similar to what it looked like before; however, now it is snug against my body. As I was laying there that night (17 June 08), i ask him if he could just cut off the remaining scroyum tissue. He explained the medical and pysiological problems with leaving the are exposed.

Almost 3 months later it really looks good.

Gapper, the community needs another urologist who will do castrations. This doctor would be ideal. I echo Paolo's comments about making money from it.

Please note: Photobucket and Imageshack do not allow nude or sexual pictures, see their TOS. I use Fapomatic.com to host mine, but there are many others who do allow explicit nudity.
