Informing a prospective spouse regarding an operation one underwent in which my one testicle was completely removed
Question
I underwent through orchiectomy, in which my one testicle is completely removed. My doctor said, one remaining testicle is usually enough for reproduction and sexual health. Alhamdulilah with the blessing of Allah, no further treatment is required as testicle tumor was in its very initial stage. I will only be under periodic surveillance in which scans and blood test will be conducted.
Now, I am planning to get married, so my question is, is it necessary to inform the girls family about this operation which I underwent. I dont want to tell them about this as it is quite embarrassing and will lead to confusion at their end. Please pray for my health and for my nikaah.
Answer
If you do not have any health complications at present and the doctors feel that this operation will not lead to any health complications in the future, nor will it prevent reproduction, then you do not have to inform them.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
