Incomplete self-castration by the patient with gender identify disorder: A case report

Abstract

A 29-year-old man with gender identify disorder presented to our hospital complaining of scrotal pain. Two hours before the consultation, he tried to do self-castration by himself, but he stopped due to bleeding and scrotal pain. His testes were not removed, and his scrotal wound was closed at the emergency operation under spinal anesthesia. After the operation, he never repeated the same act. © 2014 The Japanese Urological Association.
