Orchidectomy in Turkey
Orchidectomy is an operation to remove your testicles. The testicles produce testosterone, which can help prostate cancer grow. So removing the testicles can help to control the growth of prostate cancer. After removal of the testicles, the level of testosterone in the blood falls quickly.
The surgeon makes a tiny cut and extracts the testicles in your groin. They the put in fake testes (prostheses) after removing the testicles so that your scrotum looks and feels the same.
You could have a smaller operation to remove only the inside of your testes. This is an orchidctomy of the subcapsules. After this surgery you do not need a prosthesis.
