Quote from: TG CLare on February 01, 2016, 06:30:54 PMWhen your surgeon removes your testicles, I can guarantee that you'll be sterile. No testicles, no sperm production. As for everything else, I'm afraid I can't answer that as I'm not familiar with the entire procedure. Have you asked your surgeon these questions?Love,Clare
Quote from: Futurist on February 01, 2016, 08:37:27 PMFrankly, considering that a part of the vas deferens (that long, pesky tube ) can grow back after it is removed, I certainly don't want to take any chances with my testicles in regards to this. Seriously; after all, the human body's ability to heal is extremely amazing!
Quote from: itsApril on February 01, 2016, 11:53:21 PMI'm no doctor, but believe me. Your testicles aren't going to regenerate from your vas deferens. When testicles are gone, they are gone!
Quote from: Futurist on February 02, 2016, 12:09:25 AMI wish that I could believe you, but frankly, it would certainly be nice to be more sure about this. After all, the vas deferens has unfortunately already grown back numerous times by now!
Quote from: TG CLare on February 02, 2016, 04:02:43 PMOnce your testicles are removed, I absolutely guarantee they won't ever grow back. I'm not a doctor but that's a medical fact. Check it out yourself.Love,Clare
Quote from: Laura_Squirrel on February 02, 2016, 04:06:40 PMTrue. I had my fruits plucked in 2010 and they have not grown back.

After all, I am first focused on getting a therapist letter or two for this (as well as focused on completing my university studies). Indeed, I would rather take my time with this than to immediately go to Dr. Arnkoff due to the fact that I want to increase the odds that my insurance company will pay for my post-orchiectomy HRT (whichever one I will decide to take, but hopefully estrogen).
Quote from: Futurist on February 02, 2016, 05:24:43 PMWhat about the possibility of extra testicles, though?
Quote from: TG CLare on February 03, 2016, 01:35:30 PMExtra testicles? You're kidding, right? I don't know of any thing that ever had more than 2. Well, there was this show dog that had 3 testicles but one was an implant because one testicle hadn't descended until suddenly one day.........
QuoteNow the chances of you having an extra is slim to none in my uneducated non-medical opinion. Check yourself out. How many can you feel?
QuoteAs for regeneration of any testicles, unless you have some reptilian/amphibian DNA in you the chances are absolutely 0.
QuoteYou have better odds of winning 3 huge lotteries in a row.
QuoteIf you don't believe me, ask anyone on here or go online and do some research on your own or even better, ask your doctor these questions. They won't lie to you.Love,Clare
