Changes after orchiectomy at age 40

The beard falls off. After the male testicles are removed, the testosterone in the human body will decrease.

This will slow down the growth of the beard and continue to cause the beard to fall off. The voice becomes narrower. We all know that after entering puberty, due to the influence of androgens, the voice of men can become more masculine. However, after orchiectomy, due to the drastic reduction of androgens in the blood, the voice will return to its previous state, or even become more and more pointed.

Reduced sexual desire. The male testicles are the place where men metabolize testosterone and sperm. When the male testicles are removed, the secretion of testosterone will be greatly reduced, and it will no longer be converted into sperm, which will greatly reduce the male's sexual desire.

Unable to conceive. After the testicles are removed, the body can no longer metabolize sperm, which will cause male infertility. And because of the decrease in androgen, most patients cannot get an erection, which affects the normal sexual life of the couple.

Erectile dysfunction. Because the metabolism of testosterone will be greatly reduced after orchiectomy, it is easy to cause the male penis to not be able to harden normally, which will cause premature ejaculation in men.

According to the above detailed introduction, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the changes after one year of orchiectomy. The injection is very important for men. If the male testicles are removed, it will cause great changes in the male's physiological functions. Therefore, in daily life, we must protect our male testicles to minimize the occurrence of this situation.
