Why Do Men Undergo Testicular Implants?

The loss of a testis or both testicles would be difficult, both physically and psychologically. The testicles are not only vital for normal body functions, but are also important for a male’s sex organ’s normal appearance and fertility. It is important that we understand that testicular implants replace lost testicles physical presence, but do not restore their biological functions. Testicular implants are merely for aesthetic purposes and only restore normal appearance.

Psychological

There are several reasons why men undergo testicular implants. Restoring the normal male sex organ’s appearance is the major reason why men prefer to replace or restore lost testicles. The psychological effects of having a deformed or abnormal appearance could affect a person’s quality of life. This is evident in how he views himself and how he maintains relationships, especially with the opposite sex.
Losing a testicle due to an accident, surgery, or as a result of a disease could leave a man preoccupied about his body’s appearance. Men tend to be more sexually oriented than women, and this is evident with their concerns regarding their penile size and appearance. Losing a testicle could create psychological conditions such as depression, anxiety, and/or impotence. It may also contribute to a negative self perception as well as feelings of loss.
Testicular implants help men gain back their self confidence by restoring lost testicular  presence. This also helps re-establish compromised relationships with friends, especially of the opposite sex. Psychological conditions, such as anxiety and depression, can cause temporary impotence, which in turn can lead to an inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection. Relationships with family and friends can also  be affected: loss of one’s sense of self worth and an increase in self pity can lead men to turn inwards and shy away from social relationships.

Medical Conditions

Testicles may be lost  due to injuries, or trauma as the result of an accident. Medical conditions may also force your physician to remove a defective testicle to stop further complications. The testicles don’t only play a vital role in determining certain male characteristics, but also produce sperm for reproduction. Removal of a non-functioning or abnormal testicle may be necessary for saving the healthy testicle. Below is a list of some medical conditions which may require removal of a testicle.

Torsion

This happens when one or both of the testicles dependent spermatic cord is twisted. The spermatic cord provides a blood supply to the testicles. The loss of blood to the testicles causes them and their surrounding tissues to deteriorate and/or die.

Undescended Testicles

The testicles should descend shortly before birth. There are children and adults who are not aware of this and go through life with this condition. Medical conditions and complications may occur when the testicles are left inside the abdominal cavity and left untreated. Undescended testicles lead to risks in developing tumors or cancers, and surgical removal of the testicles may be necessary for treatment.

Injury

Testicles are among the most frail organs, and can easily be injured thru certain physical activities. The testicles are enclosed in the scrotum, a sac like tissue which contains the testicles. The scrotum offers no real protection from physical trauma, leaving the testicles vulnerable to injuries.
Testicular Cancer
The incidence of testicular cancers is very common among teenagers and adults. These however can be treated easily if diagnosed early. Removing the affected testicle is sometimes done to prevent the spread of the cancer to other areas of the body.

Nonfunctional Testes

Testes may either be too small or deformed in such a way that their functionality is affected. These types of testes may be removed without affecting other body functions. Preventative surgery, such as testicle removal, is sometimes performed to avoid  conditions that may ultimately result in abnormalities, and may even lead to cancer.
Overproduction of Male Hormones
Testosterone is mainly produced in the testicles. Abnormally functioning testicles may overproduce testosterone, and this could result in serious medical complications; removing a testicle may be necessary in order to reduce the levels of testosterone in the body.
Testicular implantation procedures typically only take 30 to 60 minutes. The procedure is performed in the outpatient surgicenter and patients usually leave the facility within a few hours. Like any other surgery, there are possible risks and complications  with testicular implants.
Testicular implantation can restore a man’s  sex organ’s natural appearance. Testicular implants are a fairly common medical procedure. It is  important to remember that testicular implants are purely cosmetic and do not restore natural testicular functions. Medications should also be taken to manage the effects of testicle loss.
