A member asked:
I am in need of a plastic surgeon for urology . orchiectomy to more exact. hopefully not the full removal , but to see why testicals are swollen.

See urologist: A plastic surgeon has no role in this sort of surgery or management. If you have seen a urologist already then they would have done an ultrasound or a scan to make a diagnosis. If you need a biopsy to get a diagnosis it would be performed by them. Orchiectomy by definition is removal of testicle and that is usually considered for a diagnosis of malignancy or for a gender reassignment surgery.
