Changes yo remaining testicle after orchidectomy

Hi

Yes, that's quite normal. Mine got a bit larger and a bit "bouncier" perhaps. Nothing to worry about.

Best wishes

Did you get chemo?
I lost my level ball due to due to medical error, I didnt have a cancer, but my remaining ball is not growing more than 1 year after orchidectomy.

Hey mate, this is exactly the post I was looking for!! I had my right one out last June due to a 3cm classic seminoma I also had one shot of carbo a few weeks after. Now on surveillance and just had my 6 month ct and bloods and they’re fine. But I have noticed the same thing as what you’re saying my remaining ball is definitely a little bigger and maybe a little harder/ more bouncier like teahupo says. How are you doing now bud?? Hope all is well

Hi James, I pretty much went the same as you last year, what I've noticed or what I think anyway is that I feel like my remaining testicle is sitting higher up than it did since the operation, anyone one else think that 

And also get a sharp pain in the scrotum now and then, but all scans and bloods are fine 

Hi mate. Mine is definitely sitting higher!! I mean it always was higher tbh but not it’s right up the top with no hang at all!! I’m 18 months all clear now just had my ct scan etc so happy about that. Hope everyone’s well

Hi, 

Had my right one removed 2 weeks ago at 23 yrs old. I’ve noticed the same thing my left one has got slightly bigger and “bouncier”. How’s recovery gone for you? 

It's 5 years and a few days since I was diagnosed.  I was pretty much fully recovered (actually fitter than before) after 9 months, and have been fine ever since.

Hey guys, I’m 31 years old and a little over 3 months out from an orchiectomy to remove my right testicle due to cancer. I still have “phantom” pain on my right side, but on and off for the last couple months, I do experience a stabbing or warm pain in my left testicle. I had seen a bunch of people in here with a similar experience and just wanted to put out some thoughts I’ve had that maybe some of you share. Keep in mind, my doctors don’t think it’s a cause for concern (I know this forum is not replacing medical attention). So, I do notice that when I feel this, it’s mostly only sitting down or laying; standing reduces the feeling but doesn’t get rid of it. Also it can go days without much of anything and then when it happens it can last for days at a time on and off periodically.

I handled my diagnosis, surgery and recovery just about as well as I thought was possible, but now this pain is something that’s really throwing me off my game. Never in my life was I an anxious guy, but cancer has really put my mortality front and center. When I feel this pain, the thoughts of the cancer coming back are hard to shake. I really appreciate you guys sharing in here. It has helped me through some tough times. Well wishes to everybody
