Question : Ihave been taking premarin and spirolactin fr a few years now to feminize myself. Ihave one testicle - the other swelled up considerably and was removed. I would like the other one removed but do not wish to involve my GP
Brief Answer:
Side effect profile is high.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I understand your concern.
This is a medical method for chemical castration, I do agree.
It is important that you speak to your GP as there is a risk of liver toxicity, bone loss, weight gain, hypertension and calcium loss from such hormonal therapies.
You physician can detect these by adjusting the appropriate dosages of the drugs like Premarin and Spironolactone for best results with least side effects.
Hence, I advise you to consult you GP at the earliest, not for surgical management, but for expert medical management.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
