I haven't seen other threads on the topic, so I started this one. Any links anyone can provide, even to other threads, is greatly appreciated.

As a surgical orchiectomy is not an option for me, I am likely going to try elastration to kill off my parts and force their removal.

I am looking for any experiences others may have had trying this, and even to any advice for or against.

Chemical castration is an option already considered but not a permanent solution I'd be happy with.

Found some posts now. Seems a lot of people advise against it.

However it looks like most men have waited for it to fall off. I would go to hospital hoping they'd have no choice to remove the dead parts.

And apparently it is excruciating pain and even after ten hours of it, the one guy was sent home with no permanent damage.

I like my way better .

I would like to start with saying there is no 'safe' way to use an elastrator on a person. I've lived on a ranch my entire life and ranchers in my area loose many critters every year to complications from them. More and more have stopped using them or are upgrading to higher end designs that work better and band much more tightly. These have their own issues as well and while they seem to have a higher success rate, I would not call them safer. At the very least, they require vaccinations administers at the time of banding, most notably a tetanus vaccine.

It takes a lot longer for the dead tissue to 'fall off' of the steer than people think. Sometimes upwards of a month. I can't speak of the pain, but like you I have heard it is excruciating. Human anatomy in this regard is actually much more resilient than in livestock. This is also why burdizzo usually fail because the cords are elastic and resist the force. My urologist has told me it is somewhat common for guys to come into the urgent care with these bands on telling stories of 'getting drunk last night and passing out, then waking up in the morning and finding it on them" and brags they have a rather high rate of success in restoring the blood flow, but the recovery is a real nightmare. Most of them simply do not get tight enough to completely stop the blood flow, only greatly restrict it.

Complications include infection, bleeding, pain, necrosis, sepsis, and blood clots. I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but it's important to know. Animals don't wear clothing so there is a lot of air flow that makes things dry out and you end up with something super dehydrated where bacteria can not survive. This doesn't happen in people and a human who has been elastrated to the point of tissue death will almost certainly need to have surgical intervention or you are risking a very nasty infection. Yes, there are success stories. There are many accounts of failures as well. Sadly, there are very few stories of worst case scenarios because those poor people are no longer here to write them.

Is any form of travel an option for you? I hear India and Mexico are both nice places to visit and have some lovely medical facilities you could tour while on vacation. Don't be afraid to email doctors and professionals or to ask questions. Speak with mental health professionals, they want to help you. Be open and honest with them and they often can put you in contact with others who can help you move closer to reaching your goals.

I wish it were easier for those truly needing to be rid of unwanted testicles to have them reomved surgically. I had an bilateral orchi last September and Medicare covered the cost and I truly had no significant physical discomfort afterwards-a lot of sutures and an annoying drain that stayed in for several days, but this was no big deal --the Elastration process sounds like true torture and possiblly lead to sepsis or other bad outcomes . I appreciate that younger biological males don't have that bargain . I wish that animal vets could perform this surgery legally as 'fixing' a male dog is a pretty straight forward piece of surgery. I truly remember how crazy T made me, that more than a decade of Spiro did so little to help my brain, maybe there are more drastic medicines available ? I am so much calmer as a result so castration is a legitimate approach, but the elastration seems just awful. Good luck.

I admit I've thought this over. No surgical options in Texas that I can find.

hi, i seriously considered using an elastrator last year when it seemed that i was not going to get anywhere trying to get an orchiectomy done correctly. i had the item and bands picked out and just needed to press buy. i only waited because i believed (correctly) that i might actually have found a caring surgeon at that point. i’ve heard elastration is extremely painful, i also have heard that in humans there are possible complications since i guess the species is more fragile than those that this tool was created for.

i am lucky i found a real surgeon to do my surgery. doing it myself was not something i was looking forward to. it would have been an act of desperation. i do understand the need. if this is really your only option, i’d make sure i was like inches away from an ER. to me orchi was a must. but i never tried chemical.

the one time i seriously asked a urologist about chemical castration, he told me that chemical could be done so i told him i wanted it. he promptly told me no. i had no choice but to leave but he being my urologist, when i needed to see him again for something more typically urological, i found that my calls had been blocked and forwarded to a service. each time i left a message he did not return my call. F’ed Up!

anyway back to orchi i am going to highly recommend finding a real surgeon. they are around. in some states (if you are in the usa) being covered by insurance is required i believe. I just don’t think it is right to go through agony to get what you need.

now i’m hoping for the further surgery that i need. i still feel desperate, and hoping more than ever i can get it done by a qualified surgeon and not have to do it myself.

this is where i am on this subject. it is highly emotion charged. most importantly, be safe.

I do think elastrator is a good tool for fantasy castration games, if you want them safely removed you should look somewhere else.

Not true. This is one of the best known Transgender practices in the Country with a practice in Austin as well as one just north of San Francisco. They will do Orchiectomies.
