How should the surgically removed testicles be handled?

Patient's question:

Hello, how should the surgically removed testicles be handled? Can they be thrown directly in the trash bin? Is it possible to perform grafting?

Doctor's answer:

If you want to have a gender-affirming surgery, you need to have your testicles removed, and you can take them with you. The doctor will respect your wishes, but generally, it is not recommended to undergo gender-affirming surgery. This requires communication between you and your family. For patients with testicular issues, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
