Patient's question:
The child is now over a year old. When the child was born, the doctor said that one testicle had not descended. If it still hasn't descended after growing a bit more, it's important to have surgery in a timely manner. A few days ago, the child had an orchiopexy surgery. How long does it take to recover from a pediatric orchiopexy surgery?Doctor's answer:
Around one month after the operation for undescended testicles, recovery can be expected. After the surgery, it is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the testicles to prevent incision infection. Rest in bed, avoid getting up too early, and walking excessively to prevent an increase in fluid discharge from the scrotum. Wear loose clothing to reduce friction. Consume as much nutritious and easily digestible liquid food as possible, and undergo regular follow-up examinations at the hospital.For children with undescended testicles, it is recommended to first take the child to the hospital for a health check. After confirmation, medication can be administered before the age of two, but regular health check-ups should be scheduled. After the age of two, the testicles cannot return to normal, and surgery should be performed as early as possible. The surgery should be conducted around the age of two to avoid affecting the development of the child's testicles.
Wishing you good health. Health!
