Has anyone had to have both testicles removed?

Posted by mordy @mordy, Feb 23 2:19pm

Hi I'm 45 yrs old. I had testicular issues for the last 9 yrs. I had to have my left testicle removed last year which was very fibrotic. My right testicle needs to be removed due to atrophy and reduced blood flow to it. Has anyone else had to have both testicles removed and if so how did it affect them sexually and feeling like a male should feel ? I'm scared how I'm going to feel and what kind of side affects will I have once I have the second testicle removed.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Men's Health Support Group.

@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.

I know I was told not to have implants since I've had scrotal issues. I'm ok with not having artificial testicles.
