questions to ask your doctor

Talk to your doctor about the Torosa® implant

While nearly all patients say they would want to be offered the option of a testicular implant, less than half of them are presented with this information by their doctor.

It’s not too early to ask if a testicular implant is right for you—
and share your preferences around your treatment plan including whether the testicular implant can be
placed at the same time as the testicle removal.

Top 5 questions to ask your doctor

When you meet with a physician to create your treatment plan, you’ll want to ask a few key questions.

1

Am I a candidate for the Torosa® testicular implant?

2

Can the implant be placed at the same time as my testicle
removal or later?

3

If I get the implant in a later surgery, are there ways I will
need to prepare my body for the implant?

4

Is the implant covered by my insurance?

5

I am the parent of a child facing testicle absence or loss.
What will happen to my child as he gets older if he receives
a testicular implant when he is young?

Cost matters, but you have options

Testicular implants, including the Torosa implant, are prescribed by a physician. Cost and insurance coverage can vary based on many factors. Whether you’re fully covered or will be paying out of pocket, it’s important to understand your options.
