Orchiectomy Treatment
Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad offers expert orchiectomy surgery—removal of one or both testicles—for medical conditions such as testicular cancer, severe trauma, or as part of gender reassignment procedures. Performed by highly experienced urologists and surgical specialists, the procedure is safe, effective, and conducted with complete confidentiality and compassionate care. We are a trusted name for orchiectomy surgery in Hyderabad.
Our approach is tailored to each patient’s needs. For testicular cancer, a radical inguinal orchiectomy is typically performed, while for gender-affirming surgery or hormone-related treatments, a bilateral orchiectomy may be advised. The procedure is done under general or regional anesthesia, often as a day-care or short-stay surgery. Our team ensures complete pre-surgical counseling and post-operative support to aid physical and emotional recovery.

Helping you understand Our healthcare
Common reasons include:
• Testicular cancer
• Prostate cancer (as hormone suppression therapy)
• Gender dysphoria in transgender women
• Chronic infection, trauma, or testicular atrophy (less common)
There are several types:
• Radical Inguinal Orchiectomy – for testicular cancer; the testicle is removed through a groin incision
• Simple Orchiectomy – typically for hormone therapy or gender-affirming surgery; done through a scrotal incision
• Bilateral Orchiectomy – removal of both testicles
No, it’s considered a minor to moderately invasive procedure. It is typically performed under general or spinal anesthesia and often done as a day-care or short-stay surgery.
Only if both testicles are removed (bilateral orchiectomy). Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be required to maintain energy levels, libido, and bone health—unless the goal is testosterone suppression
Yes. Many patients choose to have a silicone testicular prosthesis implanted for cosmetic purposes. This can be done during the same surgery or later.
