I have to take drug screens in front of someone for probation and have trouble urinating. could my surgery last march, to have my testicle removed, have any effect on this?

NO!: If you really have a "shy bladder" you must obtain the rules about how to claim this condition. They are VERY SPECIFIC and VERY STRICT because "TRUE" SHY BLADDER" is very rare!

Not likely: as the orchiectomy(testicle removal) should not involve the urethra("pee tube"). Additionally even if this was affected it would cause issue regardless of whether someone was watching you or not. The issue you are having is more so related to just the fact that someone is watching you, along the lines of "performance anxiety". This is very common.

I don't think so: It is very common for a person to have difficulty voiding in front of another. I would think this might be especially so in the situation you describe where you feel scrutinized and somewhat defensive. Unless you had some complication from the testicle surgery such as infection or prolonged healing, I don't think that has had any effect on your "shy bladder."
