Anyone considered bilateral orchiectomy: Why or why not?

It's more painful than a bee bite but now I switched over to Lupron depot but my new care team may do things differently. I'm really wanting to go with estradiol patched to replace the adt.

@shane18 I experienced anemia while taking Lupron. Might be something to watch for. After 3 months switched to Orgovyx and anemia corrected itself.

Estradiol works quite well, Just as effective as ADT With many fewer side effects.
There are videos over at ancan.org by Richard Wassersug Who is been using it for almost 10 years. He wrote a book on ADT. He uses the gel right now, instead of the patch.
If you look up the patch study, you will see that it discusses using estradiol.
Beware that estradiol can cause breast enlargement for about 50% of the people that use it. You can get radiation to the chest before you start it to prevent it from happening.
