hi,
i am currently 19. when i was about 14/15, i was hit in the groin with a ball and lost my left testicle. it shrunk to the size of a pea. my other testicle has never given me any pain or any other problems. i have regular sexual drive and everything is normal.
but all this talk about "testicular torsoin" has had me worried. should i get my "dead" testicle surgically removed and get the other one "tacked" to avoid any complications. i am really worried. plz help.
also, is it possible to take some tissue from my healthy testicle to use it replace my dead one like the british man who suffered cancer ?

hey man i know how you feel, i am 15 almost 16 and i have suffered the same thing, ever since i rember my left testicle has bean about the size of a pea, i think i had trama as a child. i am currently debating weather to have the testicle removed and the other one "tacked". i think my overall decision will be to get it removed.
Dont be scared to do it. nothing should happen and it should all be ok. sorry i could not help much with this decision, im glad there is someone else out there who knows how hard this is and understands it.
good luck on your decision

hey there. Just want to offer my advice. 7 years ago i had my left testicle removed. It was the size of a pea and wasn't serving any purpose. The doctor advised it best to have it removed. It was all pretty simple really. Stayed overnight in the hospital and was out the next day. Istayed in bed for two weeks and then i was up and about. Its a litle bit painful for those two weeks mainly when you try and get up to go to the bathroom but once its done you can go on as normal and 7 years later im absolutely fine

I have been reading your posts I am almost 57 years old and a father of four great kids ,I had double hydrcell removal in 1968 at 15 years old and just this past christrmas I had began to have bruising on my left scrotum I had two huge verceles ans there was a mass around the left testical, I decided to remove the testical which was small but healthy except for the mass of blood veins weghting down the scrotum. it has been four months now ans I miss my left testical I am having balance issues in my pants and now I have to sleep in clothing to keep from straining. I know this is not much help but please take care of your testicals they are a very strong part of your life and after all these years and pain I have had I wish they were still here. I had an injury as a child which started all my problems if you want to know.

Hey, man! I have the same situation, my right ball was hit by a lacrosse ball two years ago. I am 17 now. I had a torsion and it is dead now. I am worried if I should get a removal surgery. I have the regular sexual drive and everything in the physical examination appears normal. my right abdomen sometimes hurt. I have heard of gangrene in the dead tissue, so I am really worried about this.
