It depends on how compliant you are with taking several pills everyday.

Hi  Tall_Allen Would you happen to have any trials or research on comparisons on Orchiectomy and ADT ?

No randomized trials, only retrospective studies showing equivalence.

If you need to be testosterone free for the rest of your life, then orchiectomy is the cheapest and simplest solution. But I think most men have great difficulty in wrapping their brains about the permanence and symbolism of it.

I believe the side effects you have and will get are from the low testosterone which is the objective. So orchiectomy offers no advantage there. Also, there is no possibility of an ADT vacation
