Currently I’m planning on a vaginoplasty, though the challenge lies in that I want three things;
a) sufficent blood flow and supply for e.g. transplanted organs, to maximise chances for a uterus transplant
b) a vaginal microbiome consistent with cis gals (so, i’d likely need parts from the darms or the mouth)
c) self-lubrication
Orchiectomy is the surgical removal of one or both testicles and the spermatic cord.
Scrotectomy is the surgical removal of the scrotal sac.
Many surgeons suggest skipping the scrotectomy as they might need the tissue in order to perform a vaginoplasty.
======================
These are just basic terms. I am not a medical doctor so my knowledge in the subject is limited to the basic research I did in order to be supportive to my trans friends.
Scrotectomy? That’s a thing?
What’s the difference between it and orchiectomy?
