I have been considering an orchiectomy, since I hate taking the spironolactone, just hate taking pills period, plus I'm 48, not good if your in your 40's. I'm currently on E pellets, but just want to cut out the pill taking as much as possible, with the exception of progesterone. I've recently read on Preecha Aethestic Institute (http://www.pia.co.th) website this information:
Selecting the method in Sex Reassignment Surgery
Between Penile Skin Inversion or Sigmoid Colon
if you are:
1. Long Penis (>6 inches (15 cm), when erect) = Penile Skin Inversion (PSI)
2. Medium Penis (2-6 inches (5-15 cm), when erect) = Penile Skin Inversion (PSI) with Scrotal Skin Graft (SSG)
3. Short Penis (<2 inches (5 cm), when erect) = Penile Skin Inversion (PSI, SSG) with Sigmoid Colon Graft (SCG)
So does that mean if, my bottom junk is in the medium range to long range, I can go ahead with orchiectomy, since there is enough skin there, depth of the newly created vagina?
Thoughts on this issue: Maybe those more in the know can put a light on this issue, its been really bugging me.
I would not do the sigmoid colon, there were other threads on possible risks.
With an orchi its possible for surgeons to use techniques which leave few scars and preserve tissue.
Some SRS surgeons even are willing to advise surgeons on techniques.
An older technique is to stretch the p a while before surgery regularly in a towel for more length.
There were a few threads with detailed descriptions of people having an orchi.
