Testicle atrophy and removal

I have Hypogonadatropic hypogonadism versus mild hyperprolactinaemia and hypothyroidism. Basically a micro tumour in my pituitary gland and a faulty thyroid gland.

This complex mixture has led to testicular atrophy in both testicles to the point where I was admitted to hospital as an emergency with testicular pain in the right side. I had surgery and had it removed in 2018. In December last year I had a replacement inserted, of which I'm not entirely impressed, (another story).

Since my op for the replacement insertion my left testicle is now becoming more painful and is decreasing in size, basically showing signs it is following the right ones pattern.

What is the prognosis for the removal of a second testicle, has anyone here had both removed. How have you coped and what problems have you encountered?

Thanks.
