Orchiectomy for Transgender Women:

Content: If an orchiectomy is done improperly then there is the chance of scar tissue. Some surgeons might charge more for sex reassignment surgery if you have had an orchiectomy. Dr. Suporn is well known for refusing patients or charging a fee if you have been castrated. Who Else Gets Orchiectomies?: The most common reason for an orchiectomy is as a treatment for testicular cancer. If only one testicle is found to be cancerous then only that one is removed. Even if both testicles are removed, male sexual function can be restored and maintained through the use of testosterone injections or patches. However without testicles there is no production of sperm and so the person will be infertile. Some men seek this procedure in order to remove what they consider uncomfortable, uncontrollable or dysfunctional sexual urges. Others may seek it in order to fulfill a fetish or fantasy.
