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!

I am 62 years old and a year ago I had no idea I had any problem, I have always been in perfect health. I had prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 9 which is the worst.......I had a radical prostectomy within three weeks. The pathology report said it was all contained in the prostate but my doctor said that because the Gleason score was so high that it could come back. It has been 7 months since my surgery and my first psa test was .02, second was .04 and 3rd was .1. It is starting to come up and it looks like I might be heading towards hormone therepy. It sounds like the testosterone is what activates the cancer. I hate the thought of pills for the rest of my life so I was wondering if the testicle removal would be a better solution to stop the testosterone. I was having the best sex of my life before the operation and now no erection after 7 months. Will testicle removal have a better effect of stopping testosterone than harmone therepy? Any ideas are appreciated.
