Patient's question:
Downstairs it was found that there was only one testicle. The doctor said that the child suffers from cryptorchidism and must undergo surgery to correct it, otherwise it will interfere with his future sexual quality of life and fertility. Some may lead to infertility, of course, some are normal. It made me very anxious. The child is too young and I don't want him to suffer that pain, but without treatment it is not possible. What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, your son was born with cryptorchidism. Is surgery risky?Doctor's answer:
The surgery for undescended testicles has no risks, and it is a simple procedure. Undescended testicle patients may have the testicles naturally rise into the scrotum within the first year of life. Therefore, during this period, endocrine treatment can be used. For a 10-month-old child, LHRH (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone) preparations such as Crgptocur can be administered at a dose of 0.2 ng, three times daily. If the testicles still do not descend, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) can be used at a dose of 1000 units, administered via intramuscular injection twice a week for a total of four to five weeks. If the testicles have not descended by the age of two, surgical treatment should be considered.
