Surgical Options To Eliminate Sex Drive
« on: January 16, 2024, 06:01:33 PM »
I'm unsure if anyone else has gone this route so far, but I'm curious to know if there are surgical options to eliminate ones sex drive. I've tried a majority of the chemical options thus far, and they, along with a long list of supplements (5-AR inhibitors, saw palmetto, chaste berry, etc.), do nothing for me. High-dose antidepressants don't work, nor does Silodosin (alpha blocker) or finasteride. I've tried diet restrictions and modification (no eating or drinking a few hours before bed), changing my sleep patterns, and sabotaging my personal exercise routine in an attempt to worsen my T-levels and blood circulation. I feel like I'm at the end of the line with all of this. I'm too mentally handicapped to hold down a job, and no matter what I do I can't prevent my wet dreams from occurring. My main concern is that I won't be able to financially support myself going forward. I need to be able to make money, and POIS renders me incapable of socializing (there are very few jobs that don't require regular communication with co-workers and customers/clients).

With all I've suffered from POIS, I came to terms a long time ago that I'd be okay with lifelong celibacy, and that I'd gladly accept infertility or ED if it meant I don't have to feel like death for the rest of my life. I don't see any downside in trying something like this when I'm already too disabled from POIS to consider pursuing a romantic relationship or have children. I will be contacting my urologist as well, but I wanted to know the forum's thoughts on this whole situation. I wouldn't be suggesting this if I believed I had any other option (I'd also consider chemical castration if I could convince a doctor to administer it).

Forum member “Animus” contemplated - - then soon underwent - - surgery 20 years ago for POIS and a video (of anonymously-named “Frank”) was made about this:

I showed “Animus” your  post and he feels compassionate about your situation. He would be glad to discuss your situation by email and/or phone. If you want his contact info you can send me a PM (private message)

You can also search “Animus” posts here, using POISCenter’s search engine.

PLEASE NOTE: Surgery for POIS is unproven and can be considered risky and dangerous - - as is any elective surgery.

10 years of significant POIS-reduction, treatment consisting of daily (365 days/year) testosterone patches.

TRT must be checked out carefully with your doctor due to fertility, cardiac and other risks.

40+ years of severe 4-days-POIS, married, raised a family, started/ran a business

Before all of this have people tried CT/ultrascan their lower region like prostate/bladder ducts etc?

Also tested for SIBO or DAO?
