Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bilateral orchiectomy involves the surgical removal of both testicles, which would result in male castration. TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) is a procedure for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and does not involve removing the testicles. Vasectomy involves cutting or blocking the vas deferens, which prevents sperm from entering the semen, but it does not affect the production of testosterone or the testicles themselves. Bilateral oophorectomy involves removal of the ovaries and is not relevant to male anatomy. Unilateral orchidectomy involves removal of only one testicle and is not sufficient for castration.
