How is cryptorchidism treated in children?

Patient's question:

Is there a doctor for cryptorchidism? What kind of disease is it? What are the risks? Will it affect a person's height? What diseases can it cause... Where should I go for treatment? Which hospital is better? How is pediatric cryptorchidism treated?

Doctor's answer:

Once diagnosed with cryptorchidism, surgery can be performed 6 months later. Hormone therapy is ineffective. For those who are over 1 year old, surgery should be performed as soon as possible, no later than 2 years. Surgical methods include open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery has significant advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of high cryptorchidism. Other surgical methods include male autologous sperm transplantation. If atrophy or degeneration of the testis is found, the testis must be removed.
