Patient's question:
The child is three weeks old, not yet a month, and the doctor said he has undescended testicles on the left side. I don't know what that is, but it was said that surgery is needed. He's still so small, I want to ask, is the pain from the undescended testicle surgery severe for a baby?Doctor's answer:
If you choose general anesthesia for orchiopexy, there will be no pain. Parents should not worry too much. Generally speaking, if cryptorchidism does not resolve on its own and conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment is required. It is reported that the wound is usually about 4 centimeters long, but now many hospitals use minimally invasive surgery. The wound is usually about 2 centimeters long, and since the wound is small, there is no need to worry too much.
