Patient's question:
After birth, he noticed the rescue situation; both ultrasound and CT scans were performed, but neither detected a testicle in the right inguinal canal. What kind of assistance is needed: I'd like to ask which surgery has less psychological trauma for the child...Doctor's answer:
Refers to a deformity state where one or both testicles do not ascend into the scrotum after the baby is born for 2 months. Recommendations: The treatment of cryptorchidism mainly includes hormonal treatment and surgical treatment. The recovery criteria for both treatments should be considered based on the natural ascent of the testicles, degenerative changes, fertility, and treatment effectiveness.1. Endocrine treatment: If the serum testosterone and luteinizing hormone levels are low in a cryptorchid patient, and the serum testosterone rises again after HCG treatment, it proves that the Leydig cells are sensitive to HCG, indicating the highest chance of testicular ascent.
2. Laparoscopic examination and treatment: Laparoscopy can diagnose inguinal and high intra-abdominal cryptorchidism with high accuracy. In recent years, it has been widely used for the diagnosis and treatment of cryptorchidism due to its simple operation, short duration, and the ability to perform exploration and surgery simultaneously.
It is recommended that you decide on the treatment method and medication based on your child's specific condition and seek early treatment. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
