How would this affect a man's overall health? Recently there was a story about a California (USA) man who went in for surgery to have an unhealthy testicle removed and the wrong one was taken off. What health problems, if any, will he have when both of them are gone? (Besides pyscological issues, I mean.)

I would be suing the doctor that took off the wrong one!!!! But yes I would think he would still be able to get an erection. He would however not be able to have the big O if you know what I mean....

Well since an erection happens from blood going into the penis and hardening and that has nothing to do with testicles, that means they can still get an erection. However they cannot create sperm cells and have a baby. And I definatly agree that there would be serious pyscologocal issues.

Since his sex hormones will be up to null,his erotic Will ,will be reduced physically,what WILL have a Psychological consequence.Specially if the patient used to enjoy the function a void will be felt,that may create insatisfaction,frustration,or much severe.
As if you loved food,but don't get to feel hungry anymore and could only tolerate soups.
Like if you had an accident and both legs can't return to move,but you know how it used to be.
There will be sporadic weaker and briefer erections -as nothing there is damaged- but the stimuli behind,will keep receding until Atrophy,premature Impotence.Testosterone treatment is the only option.

He will still be able to have sex. He will not be able to become a father. He might have to take a testosterone supplement - that's the "male hormone" - but only he and his physician can decide about that. The man might also have to deal with self image problems. There are support groups for men who have survived testicular cancer. A physician should know about such groups.

As long as there was no nerve damage caused by the surgery, and the guy gets on hormone replacement therapy, his penis should function normally.

his body will quit producing sperm and testosterone which will lead to infertility and he will no longer get erections and he will lose muscle and gain fat and probably grow breast tissue(Gynecomastia).but he can have testosterone injections and live a normal life but will still never be able to have children again.

Yes.It will make no difference to your sex life other than the inability to father children in the normal way.

I assume that he will still be able to be sexually active, just not ejaculate anything.
