transI'm ready to move forward with orchiectomy. I've been on supervised HRT for almost three years and am barely an A cup.. three years is a long time to take all those pills and IM shots. I don't think I should continue doing this for a long time.. sooner or later something bad (thrombosis?) is bound to happen, as a result of the higher levels of HRT. After I have orchy my levels can go down considerably (and I don't have to take expensive Spironolactone anymore).
I started hrt when I was 33, so while I started later than I would have liked I still have a lot of time left. Everyone tells me that the hormones work better without those things around.
So is Dr Reed the least expensive and most reputable domestic surgeon for orchiectomy? I read slightly disturbing accounts of the guy from Philly.. I'm not sure if he's even practicing anymore though.
