Testicle removal: what are the consequences!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Testicle removal: If only one testicle is removed, and the other is normal, the consequences should be minimal, mostly esthetic. If both are removed, then you get into loss of testosterone production which can cause loss of sexual desire, impotence, muscle mass loss, depression.
