Congrats on this: question. Your concerns MAY be Body Dysmorphic Disorder or some other issue. Please don't self-diagnose but consider seeing support and education from a therapist who specializes in BDD or human sexuality. We all need to gain self-acceptance no matter what our body is like. Peace and good health. Hormone therapy for you MAY be treating the symptom/branch, rather than the root.

Speak with your Dr.: You won't be able to get this medication thru Health Tap. Hating sexual arousal is not normal. You must confide in your psychiatrist and discuss the reasons for your desire to chemically castrate yourself.
