How long does it take for a baby to recover after an orchiopexy?

Patient's question:

My sister's child recently had an orchiopexy surgery at the hospital. It has been 7 days since the surgery, and he has been resting in bed. Could you please tell me how long it takes for a child to recover after an orchiopexy surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after an orchiopexy (cryptorchidism surgery), it is necessary to rest for a longer period of time. In order for the child to have a better physical recovery, they need to rest for three months. After three months, the child's body is basically back to normal, and at this point, there is no difference from a normal child. Therefore, there is no need to avoid any actions or foods, and the child can live and study just like a normal child.
