Orchiectomy is most commonly performed for testicular cancer, where removing the affected testicle is both diagnostic and curative for the primary tumor. It is also used for advanced prostate cancer as a hormone-lowering treatment, severe testicular trauma, or chronic testicular pain or infection that has not responded to other treatments.

Signs You May Need Orchiectomy

The most common warning sign is a painless lump or swelling in the testicle, though some patients experience a dull ache, heaviness, or sudden sharp pain, particularly with trauma or torsion. A firm, irregular mass found during self-examination or ultrasound is the key finding that typically leads to this diagnosis and treatment.

Types of Orchiectomy

Radical inguinal orchiectomy, the standard approach for suspected testicular cancer, removes the testicle and spermatic cord through an incision in the groin to prevent tumor spread through the scrotum. Simple orchiectomy through a scrotal incision is used for non-cancerous conditions or as palliative treatment, and bilateral orchiectomy for prostate cancer removes both testicles to reduce testosterone production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will removing one testicle affect my fertility or hormone levels?

The remaining testicle usually produces enough testosterone and sperm to maintain normal hormone levels and fertility, though sperm banking before surgery is often recommended if future fertility is a concern.

Is testicular cancer curable?

Testicular cancer has one of the highest cure rates among cancers, especially when caught early, with orchiectomy often being the first and sometimes only treatment needed, though your oncologist will confirm based on staging.

Can a prosthetic testicle be placed after removal?

Yes, a saline-filled testicular prosthesis can be inserted at the time of surgery or later for cosmetic purposes, restoring a natural appearance if desired.

How long is recovery after orchiectomy?

Most men recover within two to four weeks, with light activity possible within a few days and strenuous exercise or heavy lifting avoided until fully healed.

Will I need further cancer treatment after orchiectomy?

Depending on the cancer stage and type found on pathology, additional treatment like chemotherapy or radiation may be recommended, which your oncology team will determine through follow-up testing.
