Treatment Question Should I get prosthetics?

So I got a bilateral orchiectomy, and take my TRT and I healed from my orchiectomy very quickly and well, in about 1 week I was good and the incision healed up in 2 weeks with no visible scar.

I didn’t get prosthetics because i didn’t want them to get in the way of my healing, now I’m wondering if I should get prosthetics because things look empty down there and I’m not sure how it’s going to be when I’m being intimate with someone.

I would need 2 testicular prosthetics

Has anyone had prosthetics, how do they feel? How are they? Is it an unnatural feeling?

I had a single prosthesis for the testicle I had removed. I debated it and decided that I would go for it at the same time as my unilateral orchidectomy. In your situation I would have definitely chosen to have 2 put in. Good luck with your decision
