Patient's question:
Your son is three years old, and both testicles haven't descended. Occasionally, they come down for a while but remain translucent. Basically, they have been above ever since he was born. Does this affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, it is a symptom of cryptorchidism, and it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible. Surgical treatment for cryptorchidism should be completed between 1 and 2 years of age. The purpose of surgical treatment is to stabilize the obvious external appearance defects of the child and may stabilize fertility, prevent mental and psychological stress in the child, and detect testicular malignancy in a timely manner. If cryptorchidism is not treated, it may lead to 1. Testicular torsion, testicular brain edema, and suppuration.
