Patient's question:
The child is over a year old, and there were no signs of cryptorchidism previously. Recently, it was discovered that the testicles are very small, and after examination, it was diagnosed as pediatric cryptorchidism. I would like to ask what are the causes of pediatric cryptorchidism?Doctor's answer:
The main pathological factors of cryptorchidism in children are genetic and pathological factors. One is genetic and pathological factors, mainly due to the accumulation of abnormal genes in the family, which are then inherited to the offspring. Another is due to the defect or shortness of the gubernaculum during the embryonic period, preventing the testis from fully descending into the scrotum. Alternatively, it may be caused by peritoneal adhesions of the testicular fossa. Drink more water, pay attention to rest, avoid wind, and eat less spicy and irritating foods, as well as overly greasy foods. Wishing your baby good health.
