Testicular Prosthesis Insertion in Windhoek

About this service

Testicular prosthesis insertion in Windhoek is a procedure that places an artificial testicular implant in the scrotum, usually after a testicle has been removed due to injury, disease or a previous operation. The prosthesis is designed to restore a natural appearance and can be an important part of recovering confidence and body image after testicle loss. Your doctor will discuss timing, sizing and what to expect before recommending this procedure.

Eastgate Clinic performs testicular prosthesis insertion in our on-site day theatre with sensitivity to your individual circumstances. If you have questions about testicular prosthesis insertion in Windhoek, our team at Eastgate Clinic is happy to talk you through what to expect and how to prepare.

What to expect

• Your doctor discusses size options and examines the scrotum to check the skin has healed enough to hold an implant.
• Through a groin or high scrotal incision, the surgeon places the implant and stitches it in position under anaesthesia.
• A snug dressing and supportive underwear keep the implant in place for the first week.
• The scrotum feels firm at first and softens over several weeks as swelling settles.

• Testicle removal due to injury, torsion or disease
