Orchiectomy is a gender-affirming procedure for trans women that removes the testicles. Orchiectomy results in sterility and can reduce sex drive and masculine characteristics. Having an Orchiectomy offers the potential to reduce intake of hormonal medications, decreasing thromboembolic and cardiovascular risks associated with hormone replacement therapy. Many trans women and non-binary individuals choose to have Orchiectomy and no further genital surgeries, such as Vaginoplasty. Learn more about Orchiectomy »
