I have contacted my Doctor and I will be seeing him at 3:PM rest assured I'm going to stay on top of this. I failed to mention in my prior posting that I truely appreciate all of the well wishes so I now say thankyou to all

To answer Cut Cocks question? The testicles were removed via the scrotal sack, the incision was done along the centerline of the sack without measuring the incision I'd say it's about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in length. once again thank you all for your support and well wishes.

Update on the healing proccess: The swelling has gone down considerably however, the scrotal sack is still retaining fluid there are two large masses that are extremely hard. My doctor said that this is normal and I must say that the masses are slowly being absorbed so I'm not overly concerned about it I will see him again next week where I'll ask him to drain the fluid. that's it for the time being

When I had this done I also developed two irregular shaped masses in my scrotum. I'm happy to report that they will dissolve and go away over time. It took mine just over a month to do so. How long yours take may be different, but they will go away eventually.

Thanks for the info it at least gives me hope for the future that these masses won't last forever.

Unintended consequences along with interesting changes that I didn't count on.

Since I am transgendered and have been living as woman full time for over two years there is one significant difference since being castrated that I didn't account for and that is I don't smell the same. Towards the end of the day when I needed to use the facilities my nether regions had a very strong musky odor that was none to pleasant to smell. However, since the Orchiectomy I've noticed that the musky odor has all but disappeared and I find that to be a good thing. A good thing indeed. I have also noted that the perfume that I wear smells so much better and the antiperspirant works better as well. you know the stuff, "Strong enough for a man but made for a woman"

I didn't expect these changes I'm happy they occured I'm assuming the Testosterone interacted with the estrogen and produced a muskier smell. thankfully I dont produce enough T to matter anymore. are there any thoughts as to why?

The healing continues to go well

Sounds great, you will notice many changes that will happen some over time, changes that can be good or bad.

Glad to hear your doing well

I noticed less body odor but an increase in the scent of my urine. A friend who has horses said to me "oh the gelding's urine smells stronger than the mare or stallion". I though yeah I know. Typically when something is removed from the body such as testicles or a lung fluid tends to fill the void as the body adjusts. Sounds like all is going well as it has for many of us and in much the same way.

I'm amazed at how I feel and the minute changes that appear to happen from day to day. The Masses are shrinking albiet slowly but they are shrinking. I am on an HRT regiment taking estrogen to replace the lost T I'm looking forward to more changes all for the better I hope. As far as a stronger Urine smell I haven't noticed anything different, but then again I don't go sticking my head into the toilet to check either. However, it does appear to be slightly darker in color still yellow no tea colored urine but just darker I know there's a major problem if the urine turns to a lovely tea color, right to the emergency room I go and I wont pass go or collect $200.00 on the way either. I am in a really, really good mood today, as sugested by the small amount of sarcasm.

Update on the healing, the mass is continuing to shrink every day, I feel great and truly happy with the way I feel. No other effects to note at this time. I certainly recommend those of you vacillating on whether or not you want to go through with the surgery to go ahead and do it. Have it done by a professional and you'll be the happier for it
