Patient's question:
Does one testicle of the cryptorchidism stay in the lower abdomen? Previous treatment and outcomes: The baby has a single testicle of cryptorchidism staying in the lower abdomen? What kind of assistance is desired: The baby has a single testicle of cryptorchidism staying in the lower abdomen?Doctor's answer:
Children under one year old may have their testicles descend into the scrotum through the use of various medications. If the testicles still cannot ascend into the scrotum by the age of two, surgical intervention should be considered. Surgery before the age of two has minimal interference with the testicles' sperm production function, while it may significantly interfere if performed before the age of four, and severely interfere if done before the age of eight.Recommendation: It is advised to revisit the hospital for follow-up. For a 10-month-old child, hormone therapy with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone can be administered. If the testicles have not ascended by the age of two, surgical treatment should be adopted, specifically the orchiopexy (testicular ascent fixation) procedure.
