Kangan,

Don't allow embarrassment to dissuade you from finding out about atrophied testicles. There are plenty of urologists and even some female ones who would treat you well and with dignity. If atrophied testicles might lead to cancer, it would be wise to get checked out. Please don't put it off, your life maybe in danger. http://www.thehealthpages.com/articles/ar-testi.html

Who's at Risk?

In short, if you have testes, it is at least possible for you to develop the disease, although it tends to be much more common in men ages 15 to 35. However, science has identified some risk factors for testicular cancer:

• Cryptochordism (undescended testicle): Men with an undescended testicle—whether it descended prior to the age of six or never did descend in the first place—run a risk that is about fourteen percent higher than without cryptochordism.

• Atrophied testicle : In this condition, typically brought about by a viral infection or the mumps, a testicle wastes away, possibly shrinking in size as well.

• A Family history of testicular cancer: If a father or brother had the disease, that puts you into a higher risk category for getting it as well.

Reply to Split Dick,

There may not be a painless way of castration, but there are "less" painful ways. I would guess that the quickest way would also be the least painful, though ensuing pain after castration would also need to be considered. But any method would have ensuing or continuing pain after castration. That said, I believe the least painful method would be to quickly cut them off. Speed is essential. The pain would initially be intense, but I believe it would subside just as quickly with topical medication. If constriction was used to stem the flow of blood, then the point of constriction would be painful, though the pain might be lessened with topical pain medication and also pain pills of some sort. Hematomas are always a possibility and so without a knowledgeable medical person to help, there will always be a danger of bleeding to death.

Kangan,

I read or heard some where that damaged testicles can develop cancer as well

And dr. kimmel did confirm

I ask you as well please get checked out just to be safe

Painless removal might include long term pain issues and I understand from reading that amputation of the testes should include having the cords injected with nerve blocks. I've watched videos of several SRS surgeries and they are using forceps (I think is the right term) to clamp directly to the testicle. If the person was awake you can imagine the unbearable pain. I think what they are learning is that trauma with nerves still "firing" can contribute to phantom pains later. So... Numb everything up when you remove parts.

I wouldn't recommend rapidly cutting off any body part without anesthesia. The shock factor and the blood loss factor could and would probably kill you!

Don't try injecting foreign substances into the testicles either. This sort of thing is best left to a professional. (Too bad the proper professional is so hard to find....)

I seriously doubt that dead testicles (ones without blood flow) like mine would become cancerous. Cancer cells need nourishment in order to grow. I am scheduling a doctor visit, however. Thanks for all the comments.

P l e a s e stop saying there are no qualified doctors who do Orchiectomy.

From one of the EA members who is transexual.....

This list was updated this year. *I think Dr Alter should be on the list btw

http://www.altermd.com

Dr Kimmel is (if I understand it) willing to do it on demand. The others on the list vary on what cicumstances they would do the procedure.

If your talking about pure medical (Like Chronic Pain scheme of last resort) the list would be huge. I got mine at the nearest teaching hospital which is a 30 minute drive.

Humm.. I read my message and it needs to be modified. When I said "pure medical" I think it sounds wrong. I do not believe for example that transexuals seeking Orchiectomy is any less medical then Orchialgia. *As one example. However the people who do SRS surgery are not as common as the typical Urologist who does routine Orchiectomy surgery for testicular cancer patients etc. So... for anyone whose hairs were raised by my bad "verbage" put me down for an oops....

Sorry -- I meant in my very backwards and unelightened part of the world....

No injection, no blood, no fuss, no muss. It was over in about 2 minutes and the effects are permanent. My balls are still there, but they are just hunks of dead flesh.

Maybe I was lucky?

Maybe what I should say is no guaranteed method of painless or safe castration.

Most people's bodies recognize any injury with extreme pain, and the blood supply to the testicles is sufficient to be dangerous to tamper with. Not sure why your nervous system did not recognize your injury. In fact some people end up with "phantom" pain where after their balls/penis are removed they are in constant pain due to the way the nerve endings are perceiving the lack of signal.

I don't know about you, but I feel pain from a cut long after the act of the cutting itself. Even a paper cut is pretty painful. I'm really talking more about the long term pain as a problem, because I've done many extremely painful things that I could stand in the moment I was doing them.

All the things I've done:

- burdizzo

- various crushing under weights, in vices, etc.

- direct into testicle injection of acid, injection of alcohol, injection of salt, injection of estrogen

- needles through balls

- elastrator up to 10 hours

- cut scrotum enough to view testicle

- burned penis extremely badly (stove, hot glue, electro-cautery gun, soldering iron, cigarettes)

- injected foreskin with glue, injected foreskin with silicon gel

- cut off pieces of foreskin

- split the head of my cock

- needles through my cock

None of these in any way achieved castration, but many sent me to the hospital, and all had chronic pain after effects.
