Patient's question:
The child is over a year old. There were no symptoms of cryptorchidism previously. Recently, it was discovered that the testicles are very small. 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 passed on to the offspring. Another is due to defects or excessive 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 plenty of water and get adequate rest. Avoid exposure to strong winds. Additionally, consume fewer spicy and irritating foods, as well as overly greasy foods. Wishing your baby good health.
