Male-to-Female (MTF) Procedures
Orchiectomy (Castration)- Most common procedure I perform at this time from this site . Orchiectomy is the removal of the testicles. The penis and the scrotum are left intact. Orchiectomy is done as an outpatient procedure and patients can expect to return to regular activities in 1 or 2 weeks. Orchiectomy is done to stop most of the body's production of testosterone which prostate cancer needs in order to grow. Orchiectomy causes sudden hormone changes in the body and side effects from those changes are, sterility, loss of sexual interest, erection problems, hot flashes, larger breasts ( gynecomastia), weight gain, loss of muscle mass and thin or brittle bones ( osteoporosis). Patients who would like to be castrated ( Eunuch) can contact my office at 770-951-7595 for more information and cost of the procedure.
Before you have your procedure, you must write me a letter explaining why you are asking to have Orchiectomy. In that letter, you must be honest and truthful. If I am not convienced, then your surgery will be refused.
Also refer to the links below to get an idea about the risks and complications of Orchiectomy that you need to know for the letter.
