should i get my balls removed
should i get my balls removed
im usually pretty scared of surgical stuff, but ive been thinking about this and realized there would be a lot of benefits.
i would 100% stop producing sperm (while i am on hormones, its never quite 100%) so i can stop worrying about that
i would produce less testosterone which would probably be good
tucking and stuff would become easier / i could more easily wear fem clothing
i have yet to think of any negative effects so...
if any of you have experience with this or anything, please let me know so i can hopefully make an informed decision

I had mine done in November (best NNN ever imo). I would recommend it if you're considering it and are able to financially cover the proceure. My insurance covered it, so I only paid $2500 for it, which I put on a zero interest payment plan with my insurance.
I haven't heard of T levels increasing after, my surgeon didn't even mention it as a possibile side effect. It is a very routine outpatient surgery, my urologist had done hundreds if them and said he never had any complications.
The healing sucks, or not, YMMV. For me it wasn't bad. First week was a week of soreness and slow moving around the house, next week was just not exerting myself but I was able to leave the house, drive, etc. Week after I was back at work.
It has helped my dysphoria so much. Just knowing that my body won't be sabatoging me anymore is great, but there are other benefits, like easier tucking, etc. For me the medical benefit is the best part though, this is anecdotal but I feel that hrt is able to work better now that the estrogen doesn't have to compete my body's T production.
So yeah, definitely consider the cost and recovery aspect, but it was 100% worth it for me!
thanks!
