Hi
I understand your query but how can testis and brain related to each other!!!!
No dear there are no chances of schizophrenia after testis removal.
It is also not hormonal related.
There special genes and biological origin which are responsible for schizophrenia.
So consult properly and educate your self.
Need proper treatment of schizophrenia as early as possible to get better recovery.
Still have query then feel free to ask.
Thank you.
