A member asked:
What kind of infection would require testicle removal/vasectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual: It is very unusual for an infection of the testicle or epididymis to require removal of the testicle, or orchiectomy. Usually, even the most severe cases will resolve with antibiotics, although some cases can take weeks to fully recover. Good luck!
