Consequences of unilateral testicular removal

The testicle is also an important part of the male reproductive system, so men should also pay attention to the protection of their testicles. If there is any abnormality in the testicles, they should go to the hospital for a checkup in time to control the development of the disease. Testicular cancer is also a more serious testicular disease. At this time, it may be necessary to remove the testicles, but what will be the consequences of removing one side of the testicle?

1. Orchiectomy will seriously affect male sexual function and cause impotence and premature ejaculation. It will also directly affect the quality of male semen and have an impact on later fertility. Therefore, in this case, for the sake of health, it can only be removed, and anti-inflammatory treatment should be done later to avoid infection problems.

2. Removal of one testicle, as long as the other testicle functions normally, generally there will be no serious consequences. Unilateral testicle removal can be seen in the following situations: 1. Testicular torsion, testicular ischemia and necrosis. 2. Adults with cryptorchidism may develop testicular tumors if not removed. 3. Severe testicular trauma that cannot be repaired, or epididymitis and tuberculosis, after long-term conservative drug treatment, the effect is not ideal. The testicles are paired organs. If one side is normal, male sexual function can be maintained without affecting normal sex life. It will not affect fertility for young people, and they can have children like normal people. If you suffer from the above diseases, don't worry. You can just undergo surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Before orchiectomy, the attending physician will communicate and explain in detail to the patient and his family.

3. Normal people have two testicles. After removing one testicle, if the function of the other testicle is normal, it can be compensated. Generally, there is no obvious effect on fertility and hormone levels, but the other testicle needs to be protected to prevent testicular damage. The testicle is an important male reproductive organ, located superficially and easily damaged. When the testicle is severely damaged or has diseases such as tumors, the testicle needs to be removed. In addition, testicular torsion can easily cause testicular ischemia and necrosis. When torsion occurs, you should seek medical attention in time and undergo surgery as soon as possible to restore blood supply and preserve testicular function.
