Hi,
In my opinion, if it has been confirmed through a color Doppler that there’s no blood supply to the testis, then it makes sense to get it surgically removed as otherwise there are other risks like any infection in the dead tissue can spread to other parts of the body increasing the chances of septicemia. I’ll suggest you to consult your urologist for the same and discuss this option. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
