Just been cleared for bilateral Orchiectomy

Late January this year, I had to go to the ER due to serious swelling of my testicles and in general feeling sick, and complaining about VERY painful testicles.

It turned out I had a serious infection, and was hospitalized and got antibiotics intravenously. While hospitalized My testicles underwent ultrasound several times, and the doctors was very concerned when they saw the images. Eventually I Was discharged and sent home, but should continue with a heavy dose of antibiotics for another two weeks.

The doctor who prescribed the antibiotics did say, he wasn’t sure if it would be of any use, but wanted to see if things improved anyway.

I also go a new date for another ultrasound after completion of antibiotics, and should have a bloodtest done too. Latest ultrasound was Friday last week, showed no improvements in my testicles. Blood test showed my testosterone level being 1.7nmol.

Got a call from the doctor yesterday, that they have decided to operate, and their recommendation was to take both out, since according to the blood test, neither was producing any significant levels of testosterone, and I was basically already castrated, and since I had this infection, they worried that if they only too the most damaged out, infection would come back again.

The reason they decided for both testicles and the inguinal method was due to my complaints about painful testicles so they wanted to take as much of the cords too, meaning both testicles will be removed inguinally, which I wasn’t too exited about, due to the extra recovery time, and also because years ago I had a hernia repair on my right side, so I worried about complications. But my concerns were ignored, and I was told, this is how they do it.

Date of operation has been scheduled to March 17th. And one week prior to the planned operation I have to get another blood test done.

What caused the infection?

Can be a lot of things, my doctor are mentioning tuberculosis, must admit I have never heard of it, but apparently although it’s very rare, it does happen, and there are rare cases according to him. They will do several analysis after they have come out.

Can also be the alcohol injections I have been doing, although I doubt it, and yet if so, then maybe from not being sanitized enough before jabbing the needle?

Congrats! Sorry it's in a way you are not super happy about, but the result definitely sounds like what you were hoping for. ^.^

That's great news I'm happy for you. I go for my ultrasound this Tuesday to determine if my urologist is going to remove mine after 3 CACL injections. I can't wait to get these things out.

My path to castration was somewhat similar. I was sexually submissive to my wife who desired to limit my sexual needs as I couldn't satisfy her with my small penis and quick orgasms. I was given quite a few injections of vodka and then Everclear into my testes which gradually destroyed their ability to make testosterone and probably sperm. They also shrunk up and became very firm. My doctor discovered that during my annual physical. That lead to a visit to a urologist and tests, ultrasounds and biopsies, etc. Eventually, my wife and I were in his office and he hesitantly was talking about possibilities and options. As he discretely breached his recommendation that my testes should be removed, my wife (a nurse) interrupted and said that she agreed that I should be castrated; not treated or have them surgically removed but bluntly CASTRATED. I felt similarly but her affirmation left no possibility for me to rationally object. Soon we had an appointment in 3 week for me to be neutered.

It’s done, just woke up from the operation, feeling very groggy still. So I’ll just make this a short one.

Both of my testicles have been removed today.

My day of operation was changed from March 17, to March 21.
