@mordy, I can imagine that this surgery has you concerned about your sexuality. I'm tagging other members who have experience with orchiectomy to remove one or both testicles like @rxharleydude @05271935 @hwkaiser @ozzie51 @janar.

Mordy, has your surgeon talked to you about implants and testosterone replacement therapy?

Thanks for responding. To answer your question not yet. I'm meeting with my surgeon to talk about the surgery in a week.

As of this past May 2025. I had the right testicle removed. Two days later I was rushed back into surgery since my hemoglobin levels dropped from 12 to 8 in less than 24 hrs. I had a massive hematoma and several blood clots. After a week in the hospital I went home in pain. Then two weeks later I woke up one morning to find tons of blood in my briefs. I rushed to the ed where my Urologist told them to rush a CT which showed swelling in the grion region. The following morning they rushed me back into surgery where they found several blood clots again and had to drain something. I was finally feeling better.
As of now I have to put on gel every morning when I wake up called testomax. Its fine since when I get up I usually have to go to the bathroom to have a bowl movement and thats when I place the gel on my skin. I was asked by my endocrinologist if I wanted to switch to injections every 12 weeks instead and I said no. I rather place the gel every morning. I was told I may have to move to injections that I can't self inject only a nurse can administer it. This is where Im at as of today. Im able to masturbate. I don't have any sex drive or interest in having sex. I do get erections but they dont last very long. I ejaculate a lot when I dont masturbate for a while. It feels weird a bit not having testicles but I got used to it sort off. I was told not to have artificial testicles put it due to all the inflammation I used to have in both testicles.
