Patient's question:
Child is 3 weeks old. Not yet a month. The doctor said previously that he has undescended testicle on the left side. I don't know what that is. Anyway, it said that surgery is needed. He's still so small. I want to ask, is the undescended testicle surgery painful for the 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 the undescended testicle 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 cm long. But now most hospitals use minimally invasive surgery. The wound is usually about 2 cm long. Moreover. the wound is smaller. So there is no need to worry too much.
