A member asked:
Does only having one testicle increase or decrease cancer chance i had my right side testicle removed as it died and got infected because i had a torsion left untreated for 4 days my family doesn't have testicle cancer history and i have never had it?

It has no effect. have your Urologist teach you testicular exam and do it evey two or three months. Also wear a protective cup if you play contact sport. You will be fine.
