Do you have one/no testicle or know anyone like that. How do you cope with it? How is the life? What do people who see you naked say about it. I know weird ques, more in description.

I lost both my testicles due to being shy and not asking for treatment for torsion when I was 13/14. They now lie dead in my sack, they are approximate size of ear buds. Doctor said there is no harm in them lying there, but I am on testosterone for the rest of my life. I cannot produce any sperm in my ejaculate. This has made my life very hard and I dont date anyone for the fear of this. My confidence due to this is 0. How did you cope with this?

Edit : I have read each and every reply here. I had never talked about this to another soul. Only 2 people (my parents) know I have this problem and I just talked them about treatment, not the emotional baggage this leaves me with. Reading all the replies made me feel a lot lot better. I cant reply to everyone but I am really really thankful to all of you for replying. This increased my confidence alot.

For some recurring comments :

I have considered prosthetic balls, they put silicon balls in scrotum. Will get them in a year or two just to get the feel.

I get horny, I get erections. I have to take testosterone every 3 weeks, so 3 days after the injection is my peak horniness. If testosterone runs out of my body I dont produce any ejaculate, I get erections but they arent as stiff and no matter what I do I cant orgasm if I dont have testosterone.

Again thank you all, it was a really huge confidence boost.

PSA : NEVER IGNORE PAIN IN TESTICLES. RUN TO HOSPITAL THE MOMENT YOU FEEL IT. YOUR BALLS WILL DIE WITHIN 2-3 HRS IF THERE IS TORSION

Double torsion here. Got onto it quick and saved both of them, but now they are stitched in place. Would have been less than an hour between going to the Dr and going in for surgery. Advice for every male, if your balls hurt for no reason, go to the Dr.

I used to be self concious about it, but eventually got over it. It is what it is. Makes for funny stories, sometimes they swell up and I can't walk properly which is amusing, you can feel the stitches through the sac which makes for a cool party trick. They can be sensitive as fuck, so an open conversation with new partners always took place early. Found that once I didn't care about it anymore, nobody else cared. If you struggle to come to terms with it prosthetics are an option, a pair of robo-nuts would be pretty cool.

It took me 4 days. By that time the scrotum got filled with pus. Still curse the day, I should have said it to my father

    if your balls hurt for no reason, go to the doctor

I think my issue is I don’t know how much they should hurt before i go.

Is it like curled up on the floor, about to puke levels of pain? Or more minor than that?

Sorry to hear this. You can get artificial balls. If this is affecting you psychologically, it may be covered by insurance.

You can choose the size you want! Get some real low hangers 👍🏻

I have a friend who had one testicle removed due to cancer. So they gave him a prosthetic one. He's very happy with how it looks.
