Rabbeinu Bahya
פצוע דכה, “someone whose testicles have been crushed;” even if only one of his testicles has been crushed. (Yevamot 75).
וכרות שפכה, “or whose male organ has been severed.” The reason the Torah employs the word שפכה, “poured out,” is that this organ serves to discharge either urine or semen.
