Patient's question:
My nephew felt something was wrong with him a few days after birth. One of his testicles seemed flat and empty. Later, after examination, it was diagnosed as undescended testicle. How is undescended testicle treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the child has cryptorchidism, then surgery is needed for the child to avoid affecting private development and subsequent reproductive function. It is recommended to have the child undergo corrective surgery, pay attention to the condition of both testicles, regularly check the child, and maintain hygiene and cleanliness in the private area. Observe the child's developmental indicators. Cryptorchidism is a disease that can be observed with the naked eye. It must be addressed promptly. If the testicles remain in the abdomen for a long time, it will affect the temperature regulation function of the testicles. Yes, the temperature in the abdomen is not suitable for the growth and development of the testicles. In the long run, it may worsen.
