A member asked:

Can you live a normal life with having one testicle? what are the disadvantages of having one testicle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes. There is no effect on male function. The only disadvantage may be cosmetic if that is an issue for you. If so, a prosthesis (fake testicle) can be surgically implanted.
