A member asked:

How quickly does a penis heal after testicular cancer surgery?

Dr. Devon Webster answered

Specializes in Medical Oncology

The penis is fine!: Testicular cancer surgery removes the testicle from the scrotum and does not affect the penis. There may be some pain and swelling for a few days, but after that goes away the penis should work just fine! If only one testicle is removed there is enough testosterone that erections should be normal.
