Patient's question:
At the hospital ultrasound, it was found that the right testicle hasn't descended. The baby is now six months old, and the right testicle has not descended since birth. No treatment measures have been taken during this period because some people say that the testicle may descend within the first year of the baby's life. However, I have seen online that medication, specifically hormones, can be used to make the testicle descend. Could you please explain how this works?Medical History and Treatment Effects: None
Desired Help: The baby was taken to the hospital for an ultrasound at two months and it was found that the right testicle had not descended. The baby is now six months old, and the right testicle has still not descended. No treatment measures have been taken during this period because some people say that the testicle may descend within the first year of the baby's life. However, I have seen online that medication, specifically hormones, can be used to make the testicle descend. Could you please explain how this works?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, there may be a possibility that the baby has cryptorchidism, so it is recommended that you first determine whether the baby has cryptorchidism based on the baby's condition. If the baby does have cryptorchidism, you can seek surgical treatment. Do not give the baby indiscriminate medication without a clear understanding of the cause. The above advice is for the question "Why didn't the right testicle descend in the baby when they went to the hospital for a color ultrasound at two months?" and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
