Testicle removal is ordered by a physician when there is an underlying condition that demands this procedure.
My uncle suffered from testicular cancer and he had to have one of the testis removed. He is 33 and hasn’t fathered yet. However, he will be able because he still has one testicle left. This situation is of course different from losing both testicles where you can’t father.

What do you mean when you say healthy life? There is a possibility of experiencing problems with erection and even low libido but you will probably undergo a hormonal replacement therapy.

I hope you don’t mind me asking about your reasons for removal!
