Im a eunuch. I had my balls surgically removed last year. Im on testosterone replacement therapy want to come off it. Are any of you eunuchs living without any supplemental hormones? I just want to be a eunuch. Im afraid that if I take oestradiol to protect against osteoporosis, I might get feminised. Im happy to take calcium tablets.

If you stop the testosterone replacement whether you take oestradiol or not given enough time you WILL see what some might consider a slight feminization. It just depends on how much of it you're comfortable with. Mind you, the vast majority of folks won't see it as you do. I don't know about calcium or other supplements and there may be many that might help. You would get the best advice from an endocrinologist and would be amiss if you didn't consult one for the reasons you mentioned.
With no "T" whatsoever after my surgery I did after a your or a little more begin to notice sensitive nipples and a lack of stamina and strength. I was on the High Seas so didn't have the chance for rigorous exercise which may have accounted for lass of stamina and strength. I opted for estrogen which as you say may not be what you want. I just accepted the outcome of my flawed decision making.

Did you find that estrogen helped with your stamina versus having no sex hormones? And what do you consider to be your flawed decision making?

Yes, the estrogen brought back my stamina and strength. The flaw in my decision making was that I didn't get doctors advice on it. And as such when I began getting those thing back I increased the dosage. A lot to the point that I didn't realize it was changing my body. As well as my mind. In fact you could say that I became addicted to the estrogen much like a drug addict would always be looking for more and more. Which I did. Too much abuse of the estrogen for too many years and you see the result. It was never my intention to feminize myself but it happened so gradual that I didn't notice. (Others did though)and you can see where I've gone in the end. I'm still a castrated and nullified male. But I've developed what you could say female attributes. Not that I mind now. But it did take me by surprise for a while. In the end I just accepted it all as what I consider a flaw in my decision making process. This is how I ended up for certain

Thanks for sharing. I didn't realize that your feminization was accidental or that you were taking abnormally large doses of Estrogen.

I had got used to living with no T as my T had dropped to zero for a few months before my orchidectomy.
I will in any case consult my endocrinologist about this and I expect I’ll need to go on a minimal dose of oestradiol. The trouble here is that I have only ever seen the endocrinologist once and the next appointment is months away. I’ll have to be patient.

Hi Adam .........How is it that your testosterone
you were castrated? Did your doctor propose castration? How soon after castration did you start TRT? Do you want to discontinue TRT because of a health issue?

I had vasculitis that destroyed my balls. Because of the pain, they castrated me. It was an easy decision for the doctors since they weren’t producing any testosterone. I started Testogel about two weeks later. I’ve now discontinued the Testogel as my PSA levels rose from 0.6 to 4.2 in just six weeks.
