Testicular Torsion
Posted: 11-16-05 07:00am

Hi,

can anyone please help regarding this issue? Some one we know has got this problem and has had one testicle removed. The doctor claims it shouldnt effect the sex life but I have never heard of such a thing before.

What I want to know is that:
- does it affect your sex life?
- does the person go thru any sort of depression or anything? I would think someone would feel werid without a part of them especially something important
- what precautions should one take so that it doesnt happen to the other one?
- does anyone here know someone who has gone thru this? Any comments?

Please reply soon as we do need to give support but are shocked ourselves regarding this matter . Please advise.

Thanks

- does it affect your sex life?
*well, if he had to ahve a testicle removed it probably would a little bit, but nothing major.
- does the person go thru any sort of depression or anything? I would think someone would feel werid without a part of them especially something important
*depends on the person; I would think some if not many would.
- what precautions should one take so that it doesnt happen to the other one?
*just be careful and make prequent "inspections". If you notice pain, doubt let it go, go right to the mergency room.

This site might offer you some good additional info:

Sorry to hear!! I thank God I was one who was diagnosed early and had a surgery to fix it. I'm still healing now since January and am trying to get back 2 working out, dancing, and potentially masturbating again. I'm just soo nervous to right now. But I pray you all find comfort. You should be fine and maybe he can get surgery 2 assure the other one wont tort, although they prob did that when they removed the other one.
