Does Testicle Removal Surgery Cause Lethargy And Breathing Difficulty?
I had a testicle removed a week ago due to epididymitis. Since then I have been feeling lethargic but not able to sleep properly also getting out of breath easily which never happened previous to surgery. Could all this be due to the surgery? I am 39 year old.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Orchidectomy(surgical removal of testis does not cause lethargy.
It might be due to anxiety associated with surgical removal of testis.
No need to worry as one testis is enough for hormonal production and it doesn’t interfere with your sexual activities also.
As of now drink plenty of water and take adequate bed rest.
Hope I have answered your query.
