A member asked:
When a person undergoes bilateral orchiectomy, what is produced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing: Bilateral orchiectomy is removing both testicles. The indications are for the presence of a large malignant tumor in the scrotum or for removal of all androgen activity needed in conditions suchas prostate cancer.
