hi!

I am wondering if chemical castration s the right thing for me, or is the best way to do it surgery? Hopefully i will have my entire balls removed, including scrotum and cock....i don't need it anymore. my dream is to get a vagina dwn there. any comments?

Do not. Repeat, DO NOT do anything irreversible until you have done thorough research and have taken a "test drive" of at least a year on chemical castration.

I'm sure others here will echo and amplify my statement.

Also, aside from the comments from Jesus (pay attention to them please), if you wish to have a surgeon turn things inside out (outside in?) you will need to retain the penis and scrotum, though not the testicles. My understanding is that these accoutrements are needed to provide tissues for the newly constructed equipment. Definitely consult an informed physician before taking any concrete action, please.

i would listen to what jesus and kristoff are saying they are giving sound advice and alway have done

I have to echo the statements of Jesus and kristoff. Do not do anything irriversable until you know all the facts.

I would hope that anyone considering castration to go the chemical route first. For the most part it is reversable but there can be some risks too, such as sterility and adverse reactions to medications. Using a doctor is highly reccomended.

Recently there have been some people who are thinking that they will go for complete nullification and then decide later that they may want a neovagina. This is definately NOT the way to go about this. Most, if not all, of the existing genitals are use for the creation of a neovagina (with the exception of the testes). Once removed it becomes almost impossible to create a functioning vagina and the results can be less than desireable.

Christina,

I have read you time and time again say that ALL chemical castration can end in perm. sterility/infertility yet I have scoured the research and across the board it has reported that chemical castration, especially androcur, is fully reversible. The only thing that i have found with some potential for long term effects is gyno. Can you please provide some source that you have for your conclusions about chemical castration always ending in permanent infertility after a certain point?

Thanks

At no point does Christina or anyone say that chemical castration will ALWAYS lead to sterility. One must pay attention to the meanings and nuances of language. It MAY lead to sterility....

I can't speak to all of the various drugs used for this purpose, but we have had a number of anecdotal reports here in the Archive over ther years. Of course, these are effectively hearsay, not valid, confirmed scientific evidence. I do recall reading in the doctor's and chemistry releases on Androcur - as issued by the manufacturer - that there have been SOME cases of permanent impotence reported. It is not an area that has had any great amount of published study, apparently. At this point our largest reference base is member's experience.

RE: Sterility

The key word here is "MAY" cause sterility. No one can say for sure that it will, but there is still that risk it might. One must be aware of all the possible side effects before making a decision such as this. Time spent on the medications as well as dosage can affect the end results. If you feel that chemical castration might be the right thing to do, but are concerned about sterility, then you should consider donating to a sperm bank for future use.
