The Dr. will give you two perscriptions...one for pain pills and one for antibiotics. There is a Walgreens about five minutes from his office. I stayed overnight and used an icebag to reduce the swelling and flew home to Calif. the next day. Only took the pain pills for 3 days. However, I took all of the antibiotics as perscriped. Totally satisfied wht the doctor and the procedure. Sorry I didn't have it done sooner.

Not on HRT>.

Similar to my experience regreen13. I took the full course of the anti-bacterial (cephalexin) to guard against any urological infection but because I experienced no pain post-op, the painkillers (hydrocodone) were not taken (they can also cause constipation). Be aware that the Walgreens store next door to the clinic may be open but the pharmacy inside has different opening times (I had to return 2 hours later to pick up the prescription). Make sure you have purchased a jock strap/athletic support before surgery (not on sale in Walgreens) and purchase plenty of sterile gauze pads and anti-biotic pain relief cream (Neosporin) for the incision healing.

Get a room close to an ice making machine if possible so you can replenish the icepacks applied to the scrotum regularly.

I talked to Dr Arnkoff twice last Fall about having an orchiectomy last November, but I had to postpone it because I wasn't able to bundle a second week together needed for an adequate recovery. I don't want to end up in the ER and trying to explain want happen to my nuts. My next window for having orchiectomy is at the end of June.

I don't want to push this off because I don't want to take the chance that something happens to Dr Arnkoff and have to spend twice the money with Dr. Farah. My experience with Dr Arnkoff was very positive and if I'm going do this, I rather have it done by a doctor, so Dr Arnkoff is the way to go.

I was castrated by Dr Arnkoff on February 4th and am very happy with the results. (I guess I am going to have to change my user name )

I highly recommend Dr Arnkoff vs going to a cutter or non physician. The entire procedure took about an hour. Three weeks later the ends of the cords are still swollen a bit, but have gone down quite a bit in the last week. The last of the dissolvable stitches came out last night.

In about six months, I am going to go back to have the scrotum removed.

My husband and I are very happy with the results and highly recommend Dr Arnkoff.

congrats eunuch2b!!!

Thanks for the info. I'm scheduled in a little over a week. Keep us posted.

I too recommend Dr Arnkoff. I called and talked to Dr. Arnkoff twice last Fall and found him to be both positive and sensitive to people like us. I plan on using Dr. Arnkoff when the time comes for me to become a real eunuch rather then be just another guy with low T-Levels, who want his balls gone for good.

That one question that I forgot to ask Dr Ar. Arnkoff was how much does he charges to remove my scrotum.

Does anyone knows what he charges to remove the scrotum?

He told me the cost was "about the same as the orchiectomy". He did say it was a much more in depth surgery to remove the scrotum.

Thanks Eunuch2B (you should now call yourself Eunuch-I-am!) for the information on what Dr. Arnkoff would charge to remove the scrotum.

I wonder if Dr. Arnkoff does circumcisions? I would love to have most of my penile skin removed and my already shrunken penis (I have a very bad case of ED) pushed down into the area where my scrotum was with my glans sewed at the bottom scrotal area pointing downward. That would make urinating a lot easier. Ever try peeing standing up with ED? It's very depressing and messy.

I don't really understand this -- what does ED have to do with peeing standing up? I'm certainly flaccid when peeing. Ever tried peeing with an erection?

Anyway, I think you could accomplish part of what you want by doing a self-circumcision using a TaraKlamp or similar. You can buy them from smartcircumcision.com. It is the type of medical device being used to do the adult circumcisions in Africa where they can't afford doctors to do it. Anyway, you can remove as much penile skin as you want with this device. I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone that might get an erection to remove all the penis skin, but if you're absolutely never getting erect at all then I don't see why not.

If you are chubby person with a small penis, it barely sticks out of one's pants, so peeing standing up is very messy (and very depressing). The only times I pee standing up is at home, wearing only my birthday suit or if I'm out and the Men's bathroom is totally gross. Most of the time I peeing down like a girl and it works for me. I wish that doctors like Dr. Arnkoff would be more receptive to remove the entire package in a single operation.
