Need an advice

Hello,

I found this forum through reddit and it seems a lot of wonderful people around here, and I could really use an advice.

In short about me: I’m highly hypersexual male (40) from EU. Went to several specialists over the years and after many tests (psychological and physical) we finally could pinpoint my issue – testosteron was creating havoc in my system. As soon as I underwent antiandrogen therapy, I had the best months of my life, with full control over myself! Finally!

One issue though, medicine works well short term, month or two later I have to either double the dose or change the prescription, after few years we run out of antiandrogens to try. Therefore I reached the only logical conclusion – bilateral orchiectomy as a permanent solution. However, no doctor or psychologist I talked with in my country would sign up for an operation, as much as they sympathize with my problem, as I’m not SRS and don’t have cancer.

The last drop was my father got diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer, and as its common cancer among my close relative, it was explained to me I’m at high risk as well. Removing the testicles very significantly reduces my risk of getting prostate cancer too.

Could someone kindly refer to a doctor who could do a bilateral orchiectomy without the need of referral letter? So far after googling and reading these forums, I could find two names: Dr. Thep from Thailand (I found out he is not really a doctor, but cheap and with lots of experience) and Medigo/Renew Medical Surgical Clinic in Philippines. The latter seems to be a better choice as I’m uneasy about getting an operation from “Dr” Thep, only as a last resort. I will probably contact Renew Medical Surgical, if my age (40) is not an issue to them.

What other reasonable choices are out there? I really want to get the balls rolling (preferably mine ;))

This seems to be the number one obstacle no matter where you live. Yet it is strange that a woman can opt for a bilateral mastectomy simply because she has a family history of breast cancer (as did the actress Angelina Jolie). It would seem that at your age a significant family history of prostate or testicular cancer would be enough of a "medical necessity" to have your balls removed. As you will read on this forum too many men have had to take extreme measures to achieve their goal and it's ridiculous the medical community drives people to extremes such as salt injections or back alley "cutters". I know of one fellow who shot his testicles full of veterinary grade Novocaine, crushed them beyond repair and present to the emergency room claiming a fall. Unfortunately the anesthetic wore off before he got there and he arrived in absolute agony. However, he was promptly relieved of the crushed testicles. Anyway, sorry I have no advice, just sympathy.

Don't know how current this info is, but if you are willing to travel to the US this Dr. seems to be the only one I can find and I think he charges about $4,000 USD.

Thanks seanthomas, your example of woman's mastectomy was perfect and I used it also when talking with my MD, but no result. If procedure is not approved in general in EU, they are not risking their licence. Therefore I dont blame MDs, but stonewalling by the slowpoke top brass is annoying, get to the 21st century already!

Its good to have US option as well, I will look into Dr. Arnkoff too.

Dr. Arnkoff is a viable solution - I visited him in December 2017.

I talked with Dr. Anthony Joson from Renew Medical Surgical Clinic, and he will do a bilateral orchiectomy for 35,000 pesos (674 USD) as soon as I get to Philippines next month. ;) Quite a bit cheaper than Dr. Arnkoff, but I have him as a backup, just in case.

@kazman0608 I checked that site, and all the doctors go by the book, i.e. require referrals :(

Keep in mind you need to consider the pricing of all parts of the surgery AND travel AND accomodations AND food.

A quick napkin calculation for Washington, DC to Manila is about $1500 round trip in July 2018, PLUS the surgery of $700, PLUS lodging in Manila at around $500-$600, PLUS food (i'd budget about $50 a day), so another $350, and you're up to $3150, and you're outside the US and away from our medical system if anything goes wrong. Not to mention DC is a major international destination, so flying from your regional airport may be up to twice that price.

Cheap may not be cheap after all, and isn't necessarily better. I've seen at least one person who went to Arnkoff for nullification based on price, and boy are they paying dearly for that decision now. Arnkoff can do castration just fine, but I'm just using that as an example.

Wise to consider the total expense, but also that companies arrange for medical tourism at considerable savings. I suspect that it is the same racket as package vacations. I have only a part idea how they offer a bundle for less than the sum of its parts.
