“I have to get an orchiectomy. Can I have an implant inserted immediately? What's the process like for getting an implant?”
I just found out I have testicular cancer and I need to get my testicle removed. Is it possible to have an implant done during the orchiectomy surgery? What is the process for getting an implant?

Yes, testicular implants can be placed at the time of surgery to remove the cancer. However, implants have both risks and benefits. You should discuss these in depth with your surgeon to make a decision that is right for you. You can also have the implant placed later, after the cancer surgery or any other cancer treatments that are needed.
