 Posted: 09/01/06 - 05:16 Post subject: testicle transplants - are they done? |
  |
|
| When I was 16 (9 years ago) I had testicle torsion and doctors had to remove it after they had failed to diagnose it promptly. Terrible! Ever since the removal surgery I wanted to get a new testicle. How feasible are testicle transplants or testicle cloning? |

From what I have been reading, you could do a transplant of your own testicles but your testicular tissue should have been preserved firstly. I suppose you have lost only one testicle. If so, you are still able to father with just one testicle.
If you are thinking about having a testicle for cosmetic reasons (which is perfectly understandable), there are ways. You could have an artificial testicle inserted surgically. They wouldn’t produce any sperm of course but if you had one testicle preserve, this would be enough for you to father.
If you lost both of your testicles, transplantation is possible nowadays but it doesn’t guarantee sperm production. |
