Orchiectomy with or without "sack" excision?


Lucca

Recommended Posts

I want to get an orchiectomy, and I'm trying to decide if I want to have the empty sack taken out or not. Having it just be smooth down there sounds nice, but I know that if the sack is removed, it's much more difficult to get SRS. Currently, I have zero desire for SRS, and think that having a loose, empty sack would be unpleasant still, but part of me wants to keep the sack anyway juuuuuuust in case I change my mind about SRS in the future.

 

I know this isn't something anyone can answer for me, but I still want to solicit opinions. Anyone else get a total sack-ectomy? How do you feel about it?

I'm in the same boat.  Want the Orchi but not all the baggage it leaves behind.  Honestly I am not decided on SRS at this time.  It does seems like a logical step, but years from now.  Right now I want it smooth.  I would assume that once they are not in there your scrotum with contract quite a bit, so I am told.  Just being on HRT meds can shirking the testies a lot and thus the scrotum too.  YMMV but that has been my experience.

Not needing to house any equipment in there it should be mostly flat I would think.  

I will not have anything else removed when my time comes to get the Orchi.  JMO

I also want an orchie and struggle with this issue. I didn't know having the skin removed was an option. If so, I guess I have some thinking to do. I hear the skin tightens though.

It does indeed shrink.  I've found that a simply pair of panties makes for a smooth appearance.  Everything down there has slowly retreated to become a non issue.

Related question: is there any kind of ejaculate during an orgasm after having both testicles removed? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere for some reason.

 

Personally, I'd rather not have anything come out at all. So much cleaner.

It all depends on what you want. If you want vaginaplasty you'll need the extra  skin for construction of the vagina. If that is your desire...

 

My Electrolysist reiterated that very concept to me just the other day...

Its a fair and good question.  I am not 100% sure as I am still male physically speaking.  

I know based on my experience from having a vasectomy I still have fluid during an orgasm.  Its has no genetic material it obviously,  just the fluid used for said "swimmers" to do there thing.  I point this out because other then the blood flow to and from the testicles, they, the testis, are effectively not connected in a reproductive way. I would assume this is the case when fully removed.  With the added benefit of not having the hormone transfer into the blood stream.

 

I have had another surgery to remove large lumps off each testicle too, the epididymis on both sides had the lumps in them, which is the "tubing" connected directly to each testicle.  They had possible cancer issues.  It was thankfully benign but it they were both removed as they could not just biopsy the testicle.   (Sadly I prayed for worse news and have them take both testicles.  I had told the surgean if he had any doubts to just take them.  I was done having children and being married a fourth time with five kids I was really done having children.)

I woke to having them still both in there.  (Sigh)

Now if you are talking about an actual discharge of fluid out of the body into "free air" like a male can do, then I have no clue.

The other ladies may chime in on that.

Thanks for the responses. I was always under the impression that the testicles produced and stored the entire ejaculate until I was told otherwise here. Hooray for bad sex ed!

 

Incidentally, I used the word "sack" when making this thread because for the life of me, I could not remember the proper term "scrotum" for some reason.

No big. I can tell you that after eighteen months of HRT, I get a sort of ejaculate, but It's clear and mostly slippery. It's closer to vaginal lubricant than anything else.

 

If you were curious, bits of the fluid come from organs between the testicles and the urethra with help from the prostate.

 

Behold the Powers of Science

 

Anyway, it doesn't, um, spurt the way it used to. It's more of a flow and leak situation. I produce while stimulated and then ooze a bit for a while after so the urethra can clear. It's less messy, but not exactly immaculate either.

 

I'm pretty sure the takeaway is: Nature is Always Gross.

 

Hugs!

The majority of male ejaculate comes from your prostate.  The prostate is not directly effected by an orchidectomy.  The reduction of testosterone might prevent a male erection and or orgasim.  That can happen just from spironolactone.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Mindy, that would be so awesome of you.  Please make the edit for me, and thank you so much!

      M.   The term bigender works for me because after taking the time to explore my feelings, I kept coming to the same conclusion, that while I felt an overpowering need to express my inner woman, I also enjoyed being a man.  I realized that my personality was equal parts man and woman and to be happy and fulfilled, I needed to express both sides.  There are challenges living a life of two-gender expression, but I'll expand on some of those in future posts.     Hugs,   Sally

      Sally, a moderator can edit the post adding "Post 3" if you would like. Let me know and I'll be glad to take care of it. That way your numbering system is in tact.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I thought Hey, I can't be experiencing Gender destroyer because it doesn't fit the narrative, but Hey I can. I am experiencing mild discomfort in relation to my gender. Because and that can be a form of mild form of it this forum because their elements of my gender that are out of alignment with my sign gender at birth. There are elements of my gender I have been holding back on some I did not even know for fear it did not fit was told was not very manly or in some other way not correct for someone who is an amab. I tried embracing and expressing some of these parts of me even for just a little bit every once in a while and it feels like a relief to me like a weight has been lifted.
