Content: Castration is the surgical removal of the testicles. Castration is performed as a cancer therapy, to reduce the amount of testosterone being produced, and as part of treatment for prostate cancer. In castration, an incision is made through one or both sides of the scrotum, depending on whether one or both testicles are being removed. Trauma
Traumatic injuries to the testes may involve penetrating gunshot or knife wounds; explosions and other industrial accidents; and athletic injuries. Dislocation of the testes is a potential complication of blunt trauma to the abdomen, which commonly occurs in automobile or motorcycle accidents. A dislocated testis can usually be identified by either ultrasound or CT scans of the patient's pelvis. Intersex states
Intersex states are a group of developmental diseases in which the patient has parts of both male and female genitalia. In testicular feminization syndrome, the patient appears to be a female and will have female genitalia but has internal testes.
