What you need to know about Simple Orchiectomy in East Lothian

Orchiectomy, also known as an orchidectomy, or simply orchi, is a surgical procedure in which one or both testicles are removed. When just one testicle is removed, it is called unilateral simple orchiectomy. When both testicles are removed, the procedure is called bilateral orchiectomy. The surgery is typically performed as a treatment for testicular cancer. Some other cases where simple orchiectomy is performed are:

Testicular torsion
In patients with advanced prostate cancer.
In the management of cases of male breast cancer
As a last-line treatment for intractable and debilitating chronic orchialgia.
