Specific_Questions: On December 21 2010 I had a heart attack and althoe I am doing real good i was told that I may never be able to have my SRS. Now I ask is it still posable to have my SRS and if not is there a sugery that will remove the testies and shorten the penis to where I will apear more female down there with no buldge. If so can you give a ball park priceon what it would cost for me to have my SRS or other feminizing sugeries to be able to fit in and feel a bit more normal in apearance.  Carla

Good afternoon Carla,

If you have a letter of medical clearance with reference to a stress EKG, we can do an orchiectomy under local with IV sedation, also perhaps scrotal removal.  We cannot do any surgery that requires general or spinal anesthesia in your case because the Ameican Society of Anesthesiologist’s physical status classification places you in a class 3 risk.    Please be sure your estrogen levels are carefully monitored to keep you in a safe range, as they are coagulopathic.  Can produce blood clots.

Cordially,

Harold M. Reed, M.D,.
