Remaining testicle hurts after Orchiectomy

Hi Chip

I didn't experience anything like that.  However 8 months on from my operation I still get a mild dull ache in my remaining nut pretty much half the time.  It isn't enough to interfere with my life, but I do notice it. I'm not sure if that's normal either.

HI Chip,

I'm like two months in after having an orchiectomy and in the last 2 weeks or so have noticed my remaining testicle being not painful as such but there is a little ache or pain there.  I am going to raise it with the specialist nurse after my CT scan next week so will let you know what they say then.

Thanks man.

Thanks man, appreciate it.

Hey when my first one removed the other one was achy for a couple of weeks, nothing to really worry about at this stage, I thought when they removed mine they had a game of pool during the operation, soak in a nice warm bath and wear light pants a couple of paracetamols may help, but after say 3rd or 4th week if its not any easier just pop to your gp or oncologist to get it checked out, best be on the safe side, mine went after about 3 weeks, hope this helps and stay safe    

Hi Chip5, 

I don't think it should be hurting after 9 weeks, certainly not to that level. I think you need confirmation that it's all okay. 

If try your gp and if they don't help then try and contact your urologist direct. 

Good luck

Hi Mascotty, hopefully just being paranoid here. I had a testicle removed 2 weeks ago. Since then my remaining testicle has been aching a bit on and off. Similar situation to yourself. Just wondering if yours resolved in time? I mentioned it to the surgeon who thought it might just be anxiety about the remaining nut! Thanks for any input. 

Hi all.  I spoke with my GP and he referred me for an ultrasound.  Mine was found to have calcium deposits on the testicle (microlithiasis).  Need to speak with the consultant next week.  Not very well understood but reports of increased risk of another tumour so may need regular yearly ultrasounds to keep an eye on but will let you guys know next week.  In other cases could mostly be scar tissue or slight nerve damage from surgery but I would suggest to get speak with the docs and go from there.  

Hi Scree

I'm 19 months on from my orchiectomy now and I still quite regularly have a dull background ache in my remaining testicle. I've been through several surveillance scans that didn't pick anything up.

Thanks Fuzzy, I've got quite extensive micrlothiasis in my remaining testicle also and whilst it is poorly understood, I believe there is a correlation with fertility and increased risk of TC (though there is conflicting evidence on this). Be interested to hear what your consultant has to say. The urologist here (I'm a Brit living in Canada) thought it would just involve regular self checks along with whatever monitoring I go onto.
