If anyone has any info on how long they waited before resuming masturbation and intercourse after an orchietomy/similar surgery, please do share. Thank you.
Regular activities can be resumed 1-2 weeks after the surgery and sexual activity can be resumed between 2-4 weeks of the surgery.
However, caution should be exercised in resumption of your activities as a slow build-up to earlier activity levels would be advisable,.
In the event of development of any adverse symptoms, do contact your surgeon.
Do keep us posted on your doubts and progress.

It may just be a collection of fluid.
The structures carrying sperm from the testes would have been partially excised dueing the orchiectomy. The ends would have been ligated to avoid any backflow of semen from the prostate.
Even if some amount of sperm were present in the fluid collection it can be broken down by the body.
But some individuals develop antisperm antibodies that can cause inflammation in either or both testes or epididymis.
Do discuss this with your surgeon if you develop any symptoms of irritation or inflammation.
