Surgeons Who Perform Orchiectomy
Orchiectomy (aka. Orchidectomy) is a gender-affirming / Male-to-Female Surgery procedure that removes the testicles. Orchiectomy results in sterility, and can reduce sex drive and masculine characteristics such as beard growth due to the loss of testosterone. Many trans women choose to have Orchiectomy as a stand-alone procedure, without Vaginoplasty. The Surgeons listed below are highly qualified Surgeons who regularly perform Orchiectomy.
