Patient's question:
Main symptoms: Undescended testicle and hydrocele of scrotum. My baby had an undescended testicle surgery when he was one and a half years old. A few days ago, I took him to the hospital for an ultrasound. The doctor said both undescended testicles are the same size. I only found out after going to the hospital that the operated side testicle is fixed. I would like to ask the experts, is this fixation permanent? Will it affect development? Will it cause pain?? Because my baby was crying during the ultrasound, the doctor said the blood flow was messy due to crying and it was unclear. Will this be a problem? Also, the other side has hydrocele, and there is only a small amount of fluid now. The doctor said we can wait.Doctor's answer:
Undescended testicles occur because the testicles cannot descend into the scrotum on their own, so surgery is required to bring them down and fix them. Otherwise, they may re ascend. Although they are fixed, it will not affect growth and development, nor will it cause pain. A small amount of hydrocele can naturally absorb, but the time it takes varies from person to person. Even if it doesn't absorb, a small amount of fluid may still remain in adulthood without symptoms, and no treatment is needed. So there's no need to worry too much.
