Patient's question:
The child is now three years old. But during bath time, it often appears as if it can't be reached. It frequently develops redness and swelling. Examination revealed cryptorchidism. I would like to ask how the child urinates after cryptorchidism surgery.Doctor's answer:
Hello. The surgery for undescended testicles is not significantly related to urination. It is recommended to choose a formal public hospital for treatment to ensure the surgical outcome. Pay attention to local hygiene after surgery to prevent infection-related issues, which could affect the child's normal development. Maintain a regular diet and sleep schedule. Eat a light diet and avoid foods. Go to bed early and wake up early. Avoid overexertion. Children under one year old may still experience spontaneous testicular descent. You can wait and see or undergo hormone treatment. It is not necessarily better to administer hormones earlier. If you are already over one year old and the testicles have not descended on their own, it is recommended to seek hormone treatment at the hospital. If the effect is still not good, surgical treatment is advised. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
