I am 65 years old and have my testicles removed. I am concerned that I will lose my erection and / or desire for sex after this procedure. Opinions on the Internet, among non-professionals, are divided, so I am asking for a clear and decisive answer.
Even if some disorders appear ( although they do not have to), with the modern state of medical knowledge, there are options for their effective treatment. It is impossible to clearly and unequivocally say whether and what you may have problems with after the surgery. Each person is an individual and reacts differently. Castration has fewer side effects the later it is done. At your age, you have a great chance that you will not "notice" her at all.
Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
