If you have read about me and my past, you would know that I've been "technically" a eunuch, more or less for the past several years. But I still had a right testicle, though from years of abuse it was not producing much testosterone. My testosterone levels varied from 99-126, low enough to be considered to have severe hypogonadism and one urologist said I was a eunuch, but recently this testicle had been causing me pain, sometimes sharp pain. I had had enough and went to see the good Dr. Kimmel again, yesterday, 22 March 06. It's only one and a half hours from my home, so I'm fortunate.

Dr. Kimmel's office is still a mess since it's going through extensive renovation. He told me he sold the building, was tired of leases and having people call him during the night because a pipe broke, etc. Said he was moving upstairs. He asked me tons of questions, and he talks alot as some of you know, (not in a bad way, he's completely thorough), but when I got the chance, I ventured to ask him about his future and whether he was getting a replacement. His answer was this, "It's difficult to find someone willing to battle the legal problems associated with what I do, I'm not sure if I'll find anyone." That said to me that perhaps he has tried to find someone, but to no avail. So, if you've been putting off the easiest way of getting castrated, your days are numbered to take advantage of his services. Dr. Kimmel was very sharp in many ways, though at times he seemed to be slow and needed Joe's assistance from time to time. But I didn't ever feel that his age caused a problem with his competency. (Joe is his assitant like nurse, might even be a nurse, I don't know for sure and didn't care to ask).

Now about my unilateral orchi. Dr. Kimmel asked me to undress and stand to the side of the operating table, he slapped my butt and stuck me with a needle. It surprised me, but I didn't hardly feel the needle. I think "slapping the butt," is an old way of taking away the sting of the needle. Anyway, then he had me lay down, took a look at what he was doing, got another needle, stuck my scrotum several times with some other numbing agent that was supposed to last 5 hours (and did). Then he turned on the cauterizing machine/scalpel. He did not give me a valuim, neither did I ask for one, so I was wide awake. He tested to see if I was numb, and when I assured him that I was, he started cutting. The smell was the worse thing that I had to endure. Cauterizing flesh smells putrid. After a few minutes I felt a painful tug in my side and flinched. He noticed and said, "Let me numb that some more for you," and he did. After that I didn't feel much of nothing. Soon he produced the remains of my small testicle and said, "This thing is not good, doesn't look cancerous, but it's a mess. I'm glad you got it out, it would probably cause you problems down the road." Then he took his time and stiched me up. He told me to lay still for several minutes, then asked me to sit up slowly. Again he made sure I was feeling o.k., then he said "Stand up." I stood up, was a little woozy and he made me sit in a chair. When I was ready, he told me to get dressed. He asked me to come into his office, which I did, and then he gave me and my wife a list of instructions to follow. Mary brought me a "goody" bag, with some pills (one valium, ibuprofen, stool softeners. Then he gave me a script for "anitbiotics" and wished me well. I follwed the instructions, "legs elevated, ice bag, ibuprofen, valium," and had a good night. So now I'm no longer "technically a eunuch," I am one actually and feel great about it. (Mary is an interesting character, she has to have seen thousands of men come in as fully functioning men, and leave eunuchs. I got the feeling talking to her, that she was surprised at why men choose to become eunuchs. Someday I'd loved to interview her, and intend on doing that. It would make a great article, probably could fill a book.

One more thing, Dr. Kimmel noticed my receding hair line, widows peak and gave me a prescription for "Proscar" (propecia?). Said in 6 months I should have hair. We'll see. Not that I'm that vain or caring about it at my age, 48. Just wanted to share my experience, hope it helps. Hash

Hash,

Glad to hear that so far, so good.

As far as the slap to the butt with a shot, I remember that from when I was a little kid.

I guess it does work somewhat, but when you're that young, you're too upset over the doctor spanking you, rather than having the shot?

I don't know...

Would that be analogous to the dentist slapping you across the mouth first?!

I would have to say so, Paolo. All i know for sure is i resusitated neonates for 5 years and we could no longer slap them to get them started. we had to rub their spine or flick the soles of their feet. It seems the liberal tree huggers would rather have a child die, than have its first memory of a big harry ape holding them by a foot and whailing the tar outa them.

donno. used to work pretty good and the kids did not grow up on drugs and disrespecting their teachers then.

(i am old)

Where is the good Dr. located?

I too would like to get rid of the package between my legs.

They seem to get in the way alot lately.

Is there a Phone # to give him a call or would it be better to go to someome locally?

Here's all you need. Call on Tuesday's & Thursday's if you want to talk with him personally, he does surgery on the other days. Best of luck, Hash. P.S. It was the quickest and

All you have to do is sign a paper saying you understand what your doing and pay him $2000.00 dollars. He won't accept a regular check or credit cards, not even a credit card check. You have to get a certified check, money order, or bank check.

Sherry Lanina posts these doctors on her website. She's done a great service for all of us. Look at her website, http://www.geocities.com/sherrylanina/C ... ndWho.html

Dr. Kimmel does castration surgeries at The Kimmel Urology Center. The cost is $2000, but the doctor may charge less if you are low income. He will also remove the scrotum for an additional charge. Dr. Kimmel does not do penectomies, nullification, or SRS.

No therapist letters are necessary, and you are not required to be on HRT either. Dr. Kimmel will also castrate non-transgendered men for reasons such as high libido, health (treatment of prostate cancer for example), and religious beliefs. The doctor will give you a brief consultation before the surgery.

Transsexuals may be able to obtain estrogen treatments, but non-transgendered men will not be able to obtain testosterone treatment. If you plan on testosterone replacement, you will need to arrange this with a doctor close to your home.

Dr. Barham charges around $1000, but he only performs orchiectomies for pre-op transsexuals. He requires one therapist letter from a PHD, at least six months of feminizing HRT, and a negative HIV test. Dr. Barham is not an option for non-transgendered males.

Dr. Reed is another SRS surgeon who would perform orchiectomies for pre-op transsexuals. The cost is $2000, and a therapist letter plus some lab work is required for this surgery.

Dr. Tuan A. Nguyen, M.D.

Lake Oswego, OR

Website: http://www.mdtnguyen.com/orchiectomy.htm

Dr. Nguyen is another SRS surgeon who offers orchiectomy for pre-op transsexuals. You will need to contact the office to get his price or ask other questions.

Some of the other SRS surgeons might also be willing to perform orchiectomies for transsexuals who are transitioning and taking HRT. You will need to contact these surgeons to find out if they would be willing, and what their cost and other prerequisites would be.

Those who are able to obtain a therapist referral for orchiectomy might be able to find a willing surgeon in their home town. Sometimes the therapist themselves might be able to refer you to a specific surgeon. Some courageous persons have called up every physician in their local phone book until they found a surgeon who would perform their procedure. If a surgeon is not listed on this site, they are either unwilling to perform the procedure or do not wish to be listed on the Internet as a surgeon willing to perform orchiectomy.

No. Dr. Kimmel is the closest and from Wilkes Barre it would only take you about 2 hours coming down Rt. 81. and then onto the Rt. I-76 East. You get off at the Valley Forge exit, and straight down to the Spring Garden St. exit. No one else will help you without a letter from your psychologist. Hash
