What you need to know about Simple Orchiectomy in Bangkok
Orchiectomy, also known as an orchidectomy, or simply orchi, is a surgical procedure in which one or both testicles are removed. When just one testicle is removed, it is called unilateral simple orchiectomy. When both testicles are removed, the procedure is called bilateral orchiectomy. The surgery is typically performed as a treatment for testicular cancer. Some other cases where simple orchiectomy is performed are:
- Testicular torsion
- In patients with advanced prostate cancer.
- In the management of cases of male breast cancer
- As a last-line treatment for intractable and debilitating chronic orchialgia.
- In severe trauma.
- As part of sex reassignment surgery (SRS) for transgender women.
As the name implies, simple orchiectomy is a simple procedure, taking about just 30 minutes to be performed.
What's the Recovery Time for Simple Orchiectomy Procedures in Bangkok?
The usual recovery time can take about a month. The first two weeks can be especially painful and patients are advised to not engage in vigorous exercise or effort. The Doctor will prescribe pain medications (NSAIDS) to ease your discomfort. It is very advisable that you take 2 weeks off work after the operation to fully help the recovery.
What's the Success Rate of Simple Orchiectomy Procedures in Bangkok?
Simple orchiectomy has a high success rate where most patients leave the operating room happy with the procedure.
