[[Orchiectomy]] (or '''orchidectomy''') is the surgical removal of the testicles. It is considered a type of [[castration]] and results in [[sterilization]]. This procedure is ideal for AMAB transgender people who no longer wish to take testosterone blockers. After an orchiectomy, a [[vaginoplasty]] may be performed at a later date, if desired. However, for some transgender people, an orchiectomy is the only kind of "[[bottom surgery]]" preferred. Since sex hormones are no longer produced post-surgery, continuous hormone therapy is necessary for the remainder of one's life. | |||
