Here both the testicles are removed. This procedure is mostly done in the case of prostate cancer, breast cancer or as part of a gender transitioning surgery.
What is Orchidectomy?
Orchidectomy or orchiectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of one or both of the testis in a male. This procedure is mostly performed to treat prostate cancer and male breast cancer. The testes (singular: testis) are a pair of ovoid male reproductive organs present in the scrotum (the sac that holds the testis) outside the abdomen as they require lower temperature than in the abdomen. During the procedure, the external male sex organs, the penis, and the scrotum are left intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
If only one testicle is removed and the other one is healthy, you will still be fertile and will be able to have kids.
Orchidectomy is performed by a urologist. They are specialists who can diagnose and treat any disorders of the male reproductive system.
You can have sexual intercourse, once the surgical site has completely healed. This might take 5-6 weeks after the procedure. However, consult your doctor to make sure that it is safe to have sexual intercourse.
The cost of orchiectomy is approximately INR 50,000. Cost may vary on a case to case basis depending upon the procedure, complexities associated with the disease, institution and geographical location.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following:
- Persistent high fever and chills
- Severe pain at the site of the surgery that does not respond to medications
- Bleeding from the site of the incision
- Swelling, redness, or abnormal discharge from the incision site
You will be advised to return for the checkup with your doctor, the next day after your surgery. The next follow up will be advised after 7 to 10 days and then 6 weeks after the surgery to check for proper recovery. If you were diagnosed with cancer, you will need continuous check-up at regular intervals.
Orchidectomy is an outpatient procedure that is safe and side effects are rare. Follow the post-operative care instruction correctly for a faster recovery and better results. Normally you will be able to return to your normal activities within 6-8 weeks of the procedure.
Some general advice to follow after the surgery
What is the Post - Operative Care For Orchidectomy?
At The Hospital
Once the procedure is complete, you will be sent to the recovery room for a few hours until the effect of the anaesthesia wears off.
- Once you wake up and the endotracheal tube is removed, you may feel some discomfort in swallowing and talking. You may also feel irritation in your throat and can also have a cough and feel nauseated.
- Your vital signs such as body temperature, pulse rate, and blood pressure will be monitored.
- The incision site will be checked for any bleeding or oozing. You will be given medications for pain and to reduce nausea if needed.
- If you were given general anaesthesia, you will be put on intravenous fluids until you pass gas. You can slowly start with liquid food and gradually resume a normal diet.
- You will be encouraged to walk around early as this helps to prevent the formation of blood clots. You will be given scrotal support or scrotal pants to keep the dressing secure.
- Once your vitals are stable, you can ambulate, are eating well and are having normal bowel movements, you will be allowed to return home.
- You will be advised to return for the check-up with your doctor, the next day after your surgery. Your doctor will advise you on the medications and provide instructions on wound cleaning and dressing at home.
At home
During the first week post-surgery, you will be advised to:
- Change your dressing every day. The dressing over the wound can be removed or changed after 24 hours or as instructed by your doctor.
- Use scrotal support. The scrotal support can be used for the first 48 hours of the surgery or as instructed by your doctor or nurse.
- Apply ice packs. Ice packs can be used to reduce the swelling around the incision or in your scrotum.
- Keep the wound dry. The site of the surgery should be kept dry and covered in gauze for the first few days.
- Take painkillers. It is normal to have mild pain and sensitivity in the operated area. This can be managed with the help of painkillers.
