Neha Iyer, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Neha Iyer, a 28-year-old software engineer, had her right testicle removed (orchiectomy) at age 19 due to testicular cancer. While grateful to be cancer-free for nearly a decade, she carried a deep, private sense of physical asymmetry and incompleteness that affected her body image and intimacy. During a routine oncology follow-up, her urologist, noting her continued discomfort, gently broached the subject of a testicular implant. He explained it as a simple outpatient procedure to restore anatomical symmetry and could significantly improve her psychological well-being. Neha underwent the surgery, which involved placing a saline-filled silicone prosthesis. The recovery was straightforward, with mild soreness for a week. The outcome was physically seamless. Emotionally, it was transformative. The constant, subtle reminder of her cancer battle was replaced with a sense of wholeness. She felt a renewed confidence in her body, closing a chapter of loss and moving forward with greater peace.
