About Orchiectomy

An orchiectomy is a surgical procedure performed by a general surgeon to remove one or both testicles. It is a common and effective treatment for testicular cancer, but may also be indicated for other conditions such as prostate cancer, trauma, or severe infection. The procedure can be performed as a simple orchiectomy, removing the entire testicle and spermatic cord, or as a radical orchiectomy, which includes removal of the testicle, spermatic cord, and surrounding lymph nodes. It is typically performed under general or spinal anesthesia. While it is a definitive treatment for certain cancers, it can have significant physical and psychological effects, including infertility and hormonal changes, which are carefully discussed with the patient beforehand.

Key Highlights

Definitive treatment for testicular and advanced prostate cancers.Can alleviate severe pain from conditions like testicular torsion or trauma.Procedure is relatively straightforward with a high success rate.May be performed as part of gender-affirming surgery.Often allows for a rapid histopathological diagnosis in cancer cases.

PATIENT REVIEW

I was a total wreck before...

I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Ram just listened, didn't rush me, and explained everything in a way that actually calmed me down. The hospital is huge and a bit overwhelming, but he made it feel okay. Left feeling like I could breathe again.
