Effects of Castration Cont Part 2

MUSCLE STRENGTH - As I keep my exercise regime with daily walking and running, I only have slight decrease in muscle strength. In saying that lifting anything heavy definitely wears me out faster compared to pre surgery. But nothing major as yet to happen. Fingers crossed *laugh*

Prior to castration, all my friends sees me as a weak person and I never really admire how my other male peer can always show off in the gym and seemed to have more strength than I. Thus after surgery, I still have considerable amount of upper body strength. Bottom line is that muscle mass do decrease as levels of testosterone drop after orchiectomy unless the person start HRT immediately after surgery but it kind of defeats the purpose of having orchiectomy in the first place in my opinion. 

PHYSICAL APPEARENCE - I maintained my physical appearance after castration. I only notice a small change when I started taking estrogen. This is to give me a slight feminine appearance. Apart from that I did not notice any major physical change. Again this is different from person to person and also what sort of hormones you are taking.   

DECREASED ENERGY - In addition to losing physical strength, a decrease in metabolism and energy does happen and it varies from person to person. Because I am an active person, who do not sit quietly on my knees, my metabolism is still pretty good although I feels tired more often these days and longer recovery times. This can be seen when I go for my usual walk/run every evening. My appetite seems to have decrease as well because I'm more conscious about what I eat as I do not wish for unnecessary weight gained after my orchiectomy. 


Levels of energy is largely depending on what sort of activities a person is doing after their orchiectomy surgery. More physical demanding jobs of course will tires one out faster compared to office work which demands less energy. After orchiectomy, with the right diet and exercises is not necessary one will experienced a major decrease in energy.

Methods of Castration

There are a lot of methods for castration in this modern society and especially in advancement of internet technologies. The most common method is Surgery. Not all people can afford surgery and nor all surgeon would do it unless you have a particular case such as medical or if you are a transgender. Often a lot of these eunuch resorted to less common used techniques such as Burdizzo, Elastrator band, Injection, a through cutter. I will go through in brief each method. SURGERY - This procedure is done through a qualified and trained surgeon. To be able to do the surgery, one must be in good health, no reactions to anesthesia and would need a letter of consent from yourself and a letter from transgender therapist or psychologist or urologist if medical prior to the surgery. The other requirements if transgender that you already on HRT for at least 1-2 years prior to surgery and already transitioning. The procedure is divided into simple orchiectomy, subscapular and in...

Why Castration (Part 1)

Castration is not morally and ethically right for everyone. No healthy men would want to lose their testicles nor their male hormones in their body and nor any surgeon would remove a healthy testicles just because one simply likes the idea or has fantasy to be castrated. Many men will be anxious if anyone were to suggest the removal of their testicles. However there is a tiny minority of people whose desire to live a eunuch life will go for castration using methods like burdizzo, elastrator banding, alcohol injection and many more way to rid of their testicles. I will explain different method later. For me I choose surgery option to minimize the risk associated with it. To be able to get the surgery done, one must either be a transgender or had been on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for few years. In saying that there, are some surgeon would perform this surgery and one must be prepare to travel to a third world country for the surgery. In my case, I ch...

The Procedure

There quite a few people asked me questions how I was castrated and the recovery process. Depending on which doctor performs your orchiectomy, there will be some sort of variations in terms of procedure but the outcome and the effects remains the same. If your doctor knows what they are doing, then is just a minor procedure for them. There always chance for complications like any other surgery and risk associated with it but with good doctor, the chances are minimal and the procedure will only be mildly unpleasant and recovery is pretty quick.  Those who attempt any type of DIY castration will likely have different experience. This is because genital area, there a lot blood vessel and chances of serious or deadly bleeding not to mention the risk of infection is very high, it is not recommended that you perform DIY castration yourself. Get some who have knowledge before proceeding to do it yourself. Those who seriously attempted self-castration often d...
