Patient's question:
A child has one undescended testicle. Surgery was performed when they were 14 months old. However, later it was discovered that they have microcalcifications. The child is now 11 years old. Will this interfere with future fertility issues, and could it potentially lead to cancer?Doctor's answer:
Undescended testicles have abnormal growth and development. There is a risk of developing testicular cancer again in undescended testicles. If surgery is not performed, studies have shown that the probability of canceration is 40 times higher than that of normal individuals. After surgery, the probability increases significantly, slightly higher than that of normal individuals, and regular follow-up tests can be conducted.The above is the advice for the question "Will a 14-month-old child with one undescended testicle develop cancer after surgery?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
