hi, I am 21 y.o right now.
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, I have heard that with an atrophied testicle, the risk of getting testicular cancer is higher??
I also went to a doctor last year, and he said there is nothing to worry about and no surgical removal is needed.
But I would like a second opinion.
Please help. Thanks.

This is an easy one.
LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR.
If you are still not comfortable with his answer, get a second opinion FROM ANOTHER DOCTOR.

The Geeze has pretty much hit the nail on the head.
Sorry to hear of your injury when you were young, but you survived it and have a normal life.... except for your worry about torsion.
I wouldn't worry about that in your shrunken testicle. It wouldn't seem to be an issue.
However, you have talked with a doctor and he should have set your mind to rest. Would you like to talk with another?
You'll find them at the doctor's office, not hanging out on this board.
Good luck.
