How long can a baby stay in the hospital after an orchiopexy? What should be done?

Patient's question:

My baby was born with undescended testicles, and I'm very worried about my baby. After all, this is the reproductive system, and in the future, he will face marriage and family. I want to have surgery for my baby. How long does it take for a baby with undescended testicles to be discharged after surgery? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

The length of hospital stay mainly depends on the baby's condition, primarily determined by psychological response, milk intake, and weight gain to adapt to external conditions. Although the baby can breastfeed, the amount of milk is insufficient, and the calorie intake is not enough. It is necessary to gradually increase milk intake until oral calorie intake meets physiological needs. Orchiopexy is a minimally invasive surgery, and as long as you choose "con," it can be done. Experienced traditional doctors can usually complete the surgery quickly, and the patient can get up and walk after the surgery. Typically, you can be discharged within 3 to 5 days, but everyone's situation is different, so follow the doctor's advice.
