Cseriess started a very interesting post on prostate cancer. His post is named Irritated by gender inequities. Its about preventive early castration to prevent prostate cancer.

It makes me wonder how many men have family histories of prostate cancer that cause them to think about castration as either a surgery they will likely have some day when they are older. Or wonder if early castration might help prevent prostate cancer for men with higher risk of getting it since they have many male relatives or family members who had prostate cancer ?

Lots of us likely will be chemically or surgically castrated for prostate cancer as we age.

Is that a big reason for men on here being interested in learning more about castration and how it changes and affects men ?

I was very interested in the link Jesus posted, about the timing of castration and it's efficacy on PC.

Its one of the reasons why I did orchiectomy, I have a lot of close relatives with prostate cancer. Most recently, my father was diagnosed with an aggressive PC.

As the saying goes, its better to be safe than sorry. Of course, having no T creates its own negative chain reaction in the body, but it can be (to some extent) neutralised with low doses of E and some changes in life.

Ok, thanks for telling me. I ll delete more to open more space for incoming. Thanks.

I was just operated on for prostate cancer in April of 2018. Since I have been rendered pretty much impotent, should I consider castration? I got interested in castration originally due to bad testicular pain. Now, I would like to beat cancer and stay alive.

I guess that only you can decide, but a no-nut life is enjoyed by many round here....

It sounds like you have two very good reasons to get a medically necessary castration. But you d likely have to go without any testosterone after your gelding to get the cancer prevention you seek. Giving up everything that testosterone does for a man s body.
