NIH STUDY RECRUITING 18-YEAR-OLDS TO LEARN 'UNKNOWN' SIDE EFFECTS OF TESTICLE
REMOVAL FOR GENDER DYSPHORIA


THE NIH RESEARCH SAID THE SIDE EFFECTS OF SURGICALLY REMOVING TESTICLES FROM
BIOLOGICAL MALES HAS 'NOT BEEN EXTENSIVELY STUDIED'

WHITE HOUSE HIGHLIGHTS CRISIS HOTLINE FOR 'LGBTI+ KIDS' IN RESPONSE TO STATE
BANS ON TRANSGENDER PROCEDURES

The White House advertised the National Crisis Hotline Thursday for minors in
response to state bans on transgender medical treatments for kids.

The National Institutes of Health is funding a study via a women's health grant
that is recruiting people as young as 18 to uncover what it acknowledges as the
"unknown" cardiovascular effects of surgically removing testicles on patients
diagnosed with gender dysphoria. 




The observational study is looking for 30 gender diverse biological male
participants who are interested in the orchiectomy procedure, which has also
been referred to as "surgical castration" in medical literature. 

The chief investigator is Dr. Sean Iwamoto, an Assistant Professor of Medicine
at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. 



However, it was unclear if Dr. Iwamoto had established predictions of what the
outcomes of his research would show before the evidence presented itself. 



The study's preliminary abstract acknowledges the lack of research on the
cardiovascular side effects of the orchiectomy procedure.

FORMER TRANS KID SHARES AGONY OF SIDE EFFECTS FROM 'MUTILATING' MEDICAL
TRANSITION: 'I'VE GOTTEN NO HELP'

"Trans women appear to be at greater risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and
blood clots compared to non-trans adults. The effect of orchiectomy on CVD risk
among trans women is unknown, but orchiectomy may change blood vessel function
and metabolic health," the study said. 



Dr. Iwamototo's biography page on the medical school's website appeared to
endorse a particular conclusion, calling the treatments "life-saving," which
provide "maximal physical… benefits." 

Dr. Iwamoto said, "Better understanding acute and chronic effects of…
gender-affirming surgery… will increase our confidence that these life-saving
treatments provide maximal physical and mental health benefits and minimal
risks, particularly related to cardiovascular disease."

Fox News Digital reached out to the NIH and the medical school, asking whether
they believed Dr. Iwamoto displayed a clear bias on his biography page by
appearing to state a conclusion of what his research will show in the early
recruiting phase but did not immediately receive a response.  

"It is important to develop studies that represent the transgender and gender
diverse populations we see in Colorado. Our results will help inform future
research, contribute to improvements in gender-affirming care, and improve
confidence that shared decision making between patients and providers is more
evidence-based," Dr. Iwamoto said. a

Dr. Iwamoto added that he is collaborating with international bodies.  




"My collaborations with national and international leaders continue to inspire
me to focus on this niche research area with broad implications for health in
adults across age, sex, and gender identity spectra," the assistant professor
said.

The orchiectomy is commonly used in "gender-affirming care" as part of a
vaginoplasty surgery which creates a neo-vagina from existing genital tissue –
such as the penis and scrotum. 



Orchiectomies are also used to treat or manage testicular and prostate cancer. 




A study done in 2017 on the side effects of orchiectomies on testicular cancer
patients found "higher rates of [cardiovascular] ischemic events in older
patients."

"Cardiovascular events or their minor syndromes, as various forms of ischemia,
are considered medical emergencies," according to an article published in
Cardiovascular Diabetolgy.

It wasn't immediately clear which institution was providing the orchiectomy
procedures. The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus appears to
provide gender-affirming surgical procedures. 



It's website states it provides a "Vast spectrum of gender-affirming hormone
therapy and gender-affirming surgery, and we are the only place in Colorado that
currently offers phalloplasty."
