Medical Conditions - Orchiectomy

Orchiectomy is the surgical removal of one or both testicles, usually as a treatment for testicular cancer. However, it can also be recommended following an infection or trauma. Fertility and libido are affected after this surgery. If both the testicle are removed, then testosterone production is reduced, resulting in low libido. On the other hand, if only a single testicle is removed, it is possible to get an erection.
