Testicular Cancer: Symptoms, Types and Treatment

Featured Article Testicular Cancer and Sex Although treatments for testicular cancer are highly effective, they do have some sexual side effects that every man with this condition should know about. In many cases, treatment for testicular cancer involves removing the diseased testicle (or both testicles if the cancer has spread to both). While the removal of a testicle can be a depressing experience that decreases a man's sex drive, men who still have one remaining testicle can still produce sperm and father children. Any surgery that changes your body, especially your sex organs, is sure to have an effect on your body image. However, understanding what you are and aren't capable of doing after the surgery can help you get through the anxiety, fear and frustration so you recover and return to having a normal, fully functional sex life. In this article, we will outline how each treatment option affects your sex life and then provide you with tips and tools for dealing with each sexual side effect of testicular cancer. continued			Blogs
