Some physicians who perform the procedure for the general population may be willing to perform orchiectomies for selected women in our community, though they may require a letter from a therapist or other documentation. See also the list of contact information on surgeons maintained by Sherry Joanne, which includes contact info and specifics on Thai surgeons.

Other issues and motivations for seeking orchiectomy

Unqualified people performing the procedure

When our community was still frequently denied access to medical services last century, some women sought out this procedure from people without adequate medical training or equipment. Some attempted to perform the procedure on themselves, which frequently led to hospitalization.

This is very dangerous and can lead to death or serious injury.

Please see the page on other issues and motivations for an overview of related matters regarding orchiectomy.

I strongly urge you to seek out a qualified practitioner to perform this procedure under the safest conditions.
