I forgot to metion a couple of things,

1. There was a small incision down the center of my scrotum a bit less than a centermeter long removing tubes and all.

2. As I drove myself home the next day a hospital stay was insisted apon that and they wanted to keep me monitered as there was no drainage on the wound.

3. Yes I hope to remain sexualy active so taking HRT is important to me just havnt been prescribed any yet ( Early Days See Doc in 1 more week suspect then ).

Hope this clears up a few things as for a general or a local im glad i went for the General.

Id just thought id put my castration experience in the Archive for all to view.

From the start....

I had been suffering from testical pain for almost 7 years after a vasectomy, after seeing a Uroligist for almost 6 yerars he finaly decided that a bilateral orchiectomy was my best bet for ending the pain i've lived with...

Thursday 9th of March was my operation.

The Doctor had decided that a general anesthetic was the best way to go.

I drove 40 kms to the Hospital where i would be having the procedure after all the neccesary stuff forms and questions ( I think I was asked if i was allergic to anything about 100 times and got weighed about the same amount of times and yes it said 65 kg every time didnt stop them from weighing me again and again ) they finnaly got me to the operating theater where I was pleasently put to sleep ( Only temperary not like a Dog ).

When I awoke I could not feel anything from the waist down, the nurses explained to me that the anesthetist had given me a shot in my spine that was ment to numb the pain for 3 to 4 hours after the operation ( This was not an epidural ).

After a Very unpleasent night in Hospital and I say that because little did I know that by making me numb from the waist down i could not tell when my bladder was full, not to say that i wet myself, i just didnt go at all which was fine untill the meanest nastiest stomoch pains came my way making me feel as if i was dying. The Nurses in charge made me get up and conviced me to try to have a wee, well didnt that make all the diference in the world never been so glad to urinate in my life instant relief from the pain allowed me to try to get some sleep but with nurses waking me every hour to check my blood preasure and Oxygen levels it was still a rough night.

6 Days later and im feeling GOOD apart from a niggling pain from above either side of my penis obviously where the tubes where cut off im not feeling to bad.

Just a couple of questions how long before I feel the effects of Castration I know its only been 6 days but I feel as normal ( Sexualy ) as the day i went in.

Well at the end of all this im already getting the result i realy wanted and that was to feel no more mind bending pain that i experianced every hour of the day beforehand and that alone is somthing to rejoice about and makes what I had to go through worth it in my books I just hope that I keep fealing this positive about what I felt was my only real hope in living a normal life and wont be taking for granted the little things like running, jumping, ridding a bike

being able to lift things bending over kneeling down kicking somthing and my list could just go on and on.

Thank you all here for your sharing your Experiences its more info in one hour of reading than 100hrs at a doctors.....
