What disease is treated by bilateral orchiectomy?

Orchiectomy. Many men will be afraid when they hear about this issue, because we all know that in ancient times, removing the testicles in this way would make one a eunuch. But in reality, in today's life, many testicular diseases or testicular tumors must be treated through such surgical methods. So here I will introduce to you which diseases need to be treated through bilateral orchiectomy.

1) Testicular tumors and other malignant tumors in the scrotum.

(ii) Patients with extensive testicular involvement due to epididymal and testicular tuberculosis.

(III) Prostate cancer patients undergo bilateral orchiectomy to reduce androgen production and take female hormones at the same time, which can rapidly shrink the cancer and relieve symptoms.

(IV) Others: Since adults are very likely to have cryptic testicular malignancy, orchiectomy is often performed. Some patients with orchiitis cannot bear the pain and often insist on orchiectomy.

The operation is performed under epidural anesthesia or plexus anesthesia. The spermatic vessels and vas deferens are cut, and the testicles can be removed. Except for testicular tumors, which are more common in young and middle-aged men between 20 and 40 years old, most of the people who need orchiectomy are elderly people. Some patients are concerned about the possible impact on their quality of life after the operation and find it difficult to accept this operation, but they do not know that this will delay the disease and wait for death.

Couples not only have sex, but more importantly, they need love to make their love last. Even if the testicles are removed, the feelings formed between the couple will still exist for a long time. In the old days, when selecting eunuchs, only underage boys were castrated, because eunuchs who were castrated after entering puberty might still have "incestuous uterus" and they still have the desire for sex in their relationship. It can be seen that this surgery does not have a big impact on the relationship between couples.

After understanding the common sense introduced above, everyone should pay attention to their reproductive health in life. No matter what problems they encounter, they should actively receive treatment, because many diseases start from small to large. If treatment is ignored, the impact and harm in the end will become more serious.
