Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old this year, but the other day when I was helping him take a bath, I noticed that there were no testicles in the epididymis on either side. However, one side could still be felt, while the other side could not be felt.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is considered to be cryptorchidism. The child is now seven years old, and it is likely that he has lost his fertility. Generally, surgery or hormone treatment should be performed to bring the testicles down before the age of two.Hello, it is recommended to go to the hospital promptly for further examination. If the testicles have lost function, surgery should be performed in a timely manner to reduce the risk of cancer. If there is still a possibility of fertility, it should be pursued as much as possible. As long as one testicle is normal, there is still the ability to reproduce.
