Hi Aly

I'm a guy so I can only be of limited help to you, but I do have some links archived which I'll post once I locate them.....

The perceived wisdom seems to be that you need to think about orchidectomy in the context of SRS as the scrotal skin is used to form the pocket....Also I believe some SRS surgeons are now retaining one t inside the body to avoid the need for continual HRT.

Certainly as far as your concerns about cancer go, you do need to take this up, I imagine with whoever is prescribing your "cocktail." Certainly I personally have one retained testicle and had to go for regular checks that involved some very uncomfortable but non-invasive poking and prodding.

Just as an aside you might like to do some research on Thailand as a possible venue for surgery, either BA, SRS, orch or whatever. I believe they are very good there and you certainly hear plenty of commendations.

Good luck!

Ello :-)

Thanks for replying.

Yep nods. They've gone home now, as in where they were before they dropped during puberty. Dun half hurt when someone lays across you not knowing what they've just laid on.

Mmmm, I'm MtF so definitely going to be getting rid of both of them, keeping one would be awful. Looking forward to having a fry up afterwards.

Yep. Ouch!! Nope, they're definitely going in that frying pan. Cancer is something I've seen thrown about somewhere when researching years ago, in that they're not meant to be in the pre-pubesent position in adults.

Only problem with Thailand is the aftercare. In that if anything goes wrong after arriving back in UK you're practically stuffed; not allowed to fly; Thai treatment doesn't include paid aftercare; the UKs NHS will keep you on a waiting list for years.

The hope is to shell out that extra £$£ to cover any aftercare or complications.

Any vets about? How difficult can it be? ;-) There must be a sadistic vet out there that did 10 horses and some dogs last week.
