Well i am glad to have read some of these reviews, they have made me feel so much better about myself. I was just diagnosed with testicular cancer and had to have both testicles removed...this was the biggest shock in my life because i am 19 years old, 20 in a month. I have just had surgery two days ago and have just started using a patch to level my hormones and testosterone. I am in love with my girlfriend and she's been so supportive with everything. Yes i've cried a lot about it...not being able to have babies and what not but she doesn't even care. She truly is a gem and i hope those guys out there that have this can find someone that cares for you and not about what you don't have. I've read that things don't really change and there is more pro's to this situation than cons. I do feel bad for you if you wanted to have babies...i do but there are substitutes if you are willing to except the fact that you can produce with your own stuff. I feel for all of you guys out there with this same situation but before you start flipping out at your loved ones who have been helping you out so much, realize it isn't the end of the world and there are such thing as loving females and family :-)
wish you all the best of luck!
wish you all the best of luck!

I took my 4 month old son to the urologist today, his doctor was concerned because he had no testicles that she could find. They examined him, and couldn't find them either. They said that there was a possibility that he had him & they were just somewhere in his lower abdomen and could be dropped with a surgery when he was older. They ordered all types of bloodwork to chech his hormones. What I don't understand is, my other son's radiologist said that they could just do an ultrasound to see if he had any. Why would they need to test his hormones? Im afraid that there is more to it and they just don't want to tell me yet, and why would they order six differen't test, just to check his hormones? when they could do a simple ultrasound to find out what's going on?

i am a 54 year old dude in fine shape who had unsuccessful testicle lowering surgery when I was 12..I wont get into who I would sue since my pediatrician from birth is long dead i'm sure. I have been on HRT since about 15 years old. I just want to say that it is possible to lead a very fulfilling life with this condition, including excellent sex with volumenous ejaculations. I have been married to the same beautiful woman for 25 years whom I was very lucky to discover that she wasn't wild about having kids since she practically raised her brothers and sisters while her parents worked. In this regard i am truly blessed. eventhough, I was a bit fearful to tell her this thing before I popped the question. It's something you gotta do if you intend to marry.She has to know what she's getting. I have been a pretty successful athlete (amateur). With testicular implants I felt pretty normal with the girls I'd been with before being married ( they didnt have a clue they were fake) Lately i've been thinking of getting the implants removed...I think this would be the ultimate in comfort. But, my wife thinks I should get bigger ones to be in proportion to the rest, I dunno lol.
to the guy who says he hides behind the internet: get a urologist...get some HRT...your outlook will improve...you will gain muscles.. your penis, might grow to it's genetic potential.. you will grow hair all over the place..but, beware I guarantee you will want sex. I hope you will be as lucky as I. this condition is not an excuse not to live.

Im 21 now and I was born without testicles from birth. I had a exploritory surgery when i was 3 or 4 and they couldn't find anything. Im very thankful I have the mother that I do she has kept up with it from birth. Ive been seeing dr's for this since I was born and Ive grown up just like any other male. I started testosterone at the age of puberty and Im fully developed except for my testicles. I am looking into surgery to have implants. It makes me nervous to put something there thats never been. The only thing that makes me sad is not being able to have kids. I sometimes wonder if my penis is fully developed but I think Im just self conscious.

I am very thankful to find this site. I have nobody who has ever heard of this condition and honestly neither had I til I had my son. My son was born with testicles but at his three month old check up they weren't there anymore. He went through a bunch of blood test and at ten months old he went through an exploratory surgery to see if they were there and just never dropped. After the surgery I was informed that they had vanished (dissolved). He has seen a urologist at newborn, age one, age two, and our next appointment is this December (he's four now).
Because he's only four, he doesn't know he's any different. And other than the missing testicles he's a very happy and healthy. I know that we are going to have to one day have the "you'll never have children of your own biologically" conversation and in order to develop correctly he'll have to be on hormones starting a puberty (or so I've been told). But right now I am faced with a decision I don't know how to make and I'm asking you...the people who've been there....for help.
My son is four years old and his doctors want to implant child sized implants (and of course when he gets older there are adolscent sized and adult sized). But my question is...should I let the surgery happen (since he has no understanding of why he would need it) or should I wait until he's old enough to make this very important decision for himself? Do you feel like you wish you could have gotten them at an earlier age or do you appreciate being able to make the decision for yourself and your body? At the age of four is this an unnecessary surgery? I don't want to put my son in any unneccessary danger but for his future mental well-being is surgery right way to go? I just don't know. Please help. %-)

Guys,when u do sex, do u stil ejaculate, i mean, are there stil wet sticky things that come out!? Are they sperms?
It's sad to think that we cant have children,but i just cant leave him because of that.
Is there any way that you can stil bear a child despite your condition?

Hey everybody, I was also born with this unfortunate condition and throughout my life I have had a very hard time dealing with it, ranging from phyciatric problems to drug abuse. I have often felt very alone and that I'm different to everybody else but at 21 and after finally finding this forum full of great guys like yourselves it has really changed my perspective on the whole thing. You are not alone and if anybody wants to talk I would be very happy to as I have never had the opportunity to talk to anybody who understands. If any of you are having a rough time you should know it really is not the end of the world, infertillty is a very hurtful thing but it gets easier to deal with in time. You will find a girl who loves you and loves you for who you are, and you will live a fulfilled life. Don't fall into the dark zone that I did when I was a teenager. Thankyou, all of you for sharing your stories you have made me feel almost as if I am reborn

I've also had the same problems growing up man, and its very comforting to find somebody who has gone through the same things that I have, especially with the girl stuff! I was lucky enough to find that perfect girl and tellin her about my 'condition' was one of the hardest things ive ever done and for a long time she had a hard time understanding how and why it happened but she loves me for who i am and we've been together 4 years now. It still hurts me from time to time that i won't be able to give her children but she's dedicated to me and says we'll get through it together. So, there is hope man, believe me I grew up thinking I would never find a girl like this and it really affects your confidence and self esteem but trust me there ARE nice, beautiful girls out there who would love you for who you are. I'm 21 and I've only discovered others like ourselves this week and I'm very glad that there are people of all ages on here sharing their experiences, it really does make a difference. I'd be happy to talk anytime to anybody who has gone through this

I have this same issue. I had them removed at birth and had the implants inserted at 14. I give myself the shot every 2 weeks now.
I am 23 and have made peace with the fact that I have to take the shots. At this point however I would like to know if anyone can point me in the direction of what research is being done in this area if any at all.
If not, someone please point me in the direction of where to start. What specialty does this even fall under? I have always seen an endocrinologist. I just want more information than what I have been given.
All the doctors have ever told me was that I would never have children and have to take these shots blah blah blah. Medical technology is changing rapidly. I want more information.
