Do Men Lose Most of Their Strength if The Testicles Are Removed?

Do men lose the majority of their strength if the testicles are removed?

I understand 95 percent of testosterone comes from the testicles, thus making men stronger than women.

After an incident riding horses I am being told I may have my testes removed..

I have gotten generic information regarding hormone replacement therapy, but wonder what the natural effects of life without testicles will be like.

Is this an extremely rare event, or is there solid knowledge about this?

It’s a common misconception but it does affect one way or the other. Testicles “contain” and produce our male hormones called testosterone. Once removed (depending if one or both are removed), the number of hormones will drop significantly. But it does not make anyone weak. It just means the “drive” lowers. Just as a car with a flat tire, it will still run but it wouldn’t be as quick as a car without flat tire. Case also varies from person to person, some people lose the control over their whole package (aka paralyzed from waist down) but they still continue life as is.

Can men produce to much estrogen? How can BHRT help?
