How Effective Is Prosthetic Testicle Procedure?

Hi, I am 26 years old and recently had an operation done for Hernia with which my undecended left testicle was removed. I am not married and my parents are now looking forward to it, but i am not feeling comfortable and confident about it now. Would it be a good idea to look for a prosthetic Testicle? and what would be the procedure involved along with a rough idea of how much it would cost to get it done in India. Also if possible please suggest the pros and cons to it.

Thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The first issue is why do you need a prosthesis?
IT is better to see that the remaining testis is normal , functioning well and produces sufficient sperms and the testosterone.
Get the tests of semen analysis done and the testosterone estimation.

In India, this may not be possible as this is for the first time I have heard about. And is not needed , The marriage is on faith in India.. and you would not like to bluff with your would -be wife , I suppose.

Prose: your satisfaction
Cons: chances of infection, you own mind not accepting this at a later date.
Not of any use and this place is not meant for something like this. As the scrotum is a different structure and may not really adopt or accept this.
