I became a eunuch yesterday.

I had a left radical orchiectomy age 14 for a testicular teratoma. I have three children. I was found to have a benign Leydig cell tumor in the right testicle in 1996 (treated with "testicle sparing" surgery). I had ongoing very annoying testicular pain in the right one post-op. This pain was not responsive to medical treatment and in 2012 i was found to have low testosterone as well. This is managed with three monthly depot testosterone.

After putting up with ongoing pain from a testicle that had given me three kids and no longer produced testosterone, I decided to get the testicle removed for improved comfort. Yesterday i had a right radical orchiectomy and officially became a complete eunuch.

I am thrilled to have entered this group and look forward to your/my input.

Welcome to the Club!

Excellent. I hope you enjoy being without your testicles as much as I do. Let us know how it goes for you as you get further from your surgery.

Thanks. I love the look of my new groin and have less pain only one day post-removal. I have had 14 years with two, 46 years with one and now the rest of my life with none. i have struggled with my testicles most of my life and now look positively to my new state and to teling my story on this site.

welcome

Good to hear the surgery went well and you are pleased with the results.

Welcome brother eunuch! Glad you are here and thanks for sharing your story.

Also lost both to medical adventures, and have come to thoroughly enjoy the result!

Be well and happy!

A warm welcome. Yours for medical reasons, same as me. When you know, in your heart, a part of your body is broken beyond repair, the relief to be rid of it is hard to describe. All the best

Four days ago I had a plastic surgeon perform a total scrotectomy on me. The procédure went well but is too early to comment on its effect. Certainly the absence of all the loose scrotal skin is a bonus but there is too much bruising to assess all the effects properly. I expect the bruising will décline over the next 4-6 weeks so i will give a proper opinion then.
