Patient's question:
Doctor, my friend is 49 years old this year. His health has always been good. Recently, I don't know what happened, he has pain and discomfort in his genital area, accompanied by redness and swelling. The hospital examination said it was testicular inflammation, and if it's serious, it needs to be removed. I want to understand the relevant matters of the testicular removal surgery.Doctor's answer:
According to the specific situation you described, after the removal of the testicles, it may lead to a decline in sexual activity and a decrease in libido. If only one side is removed, it is still relatively manageable. However, if both sides are removed, it will be very difficult to achieve an erection. Therefore, if the testicles are not the symptom, it is essential to go to a regular hospital for a thorough examination and treatment in a timely manner. Achieving early detection and early treatment as soon as possible will ensure that there will be no need to remove the testicles. Maintain physical and mental health, keep personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
