Patient's question:
My son is twelve years old. Before, I occasionally noticed that he only had one testicle, but later, after some time, he had two again, so I didn't pay much attention. This year, I noticed that he only has one again. Today, I had a color Doppler ultrasound done, and the doctor said the other one is in the inguinal canal. Is the surgery for undescended testicles minimally invasive?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the condition of undescended testicles in children, it is recommended to first take the child to the hospital for a health check-up. After confirming the diagnosis of the child's condition, medication can be administered before the age of 2. However, regular health check-ups are necessary. If the testicles have not descended to their normal position by the age of 2, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. The best time for surgery is around the age of 2 to avoid affecting the development of the child's testicles. Wishing you good health!
