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?

Won’t say if you should or shouldn’t. I got a prosthetic righty, and am feeling good about the decision personally. A part of my consciousness is not AS reminded about having cancer every time I wash myself or feel down there. I would most likely have gotten 2 if I needed it. Just me though. All the best man.
