A member asked:
What will happen to your prostate gland if your testicles are removed? will it just disapear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not completely.: The size and organization of the prostate depends on testosterone, and its derivative dht. If the testicles are removed, a major source of these androgenic hormones is removed, and the prostate will atrophy, significantly shrinking in size. It will not, however, disappear completely.
