I'm considering orchiectomy but don't know much?

Depends on why: If there is a cancerous tumor in a testicle, orchiectomy (cut it out) is the usual treatment. Otherwise, we don't "consider" orchiectomies... just like we don't consider removing one of two eyeballs or removing one of two arms, unless there is a major reason such as a cancer in an eyeball or a cancer in an arm.
