Patient's question:
My relatives noticed some problems with him, so they took him to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said the child has cryptorchidism and suggested surgery to treat it. I'd like to ask, if the surgery is done here, what would be the approximate cost? How much does pediatric cryptorchidism surgery cost?Doctor's answer:
Hello! During normal development, the testes descend from the posterior abdominal wall of the waist to the scrotum. If they fail to descend or only partially descend, with no testes present in the scrotum or only one side having a testis, it is called cryptorchidism, which is also clinically referred to as undescended testes or testicular maldescent. Cryptorchidism is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the pediatric urogenital system, often, with the right side being more commonly affected. Cryptorchidism is best surgically treated around six months of age, with the latest age being no more than two years. Cryptorchid surgery is considered a minor procedure, with the general cost ranging from approximately 5,000 to 6,000 yuan.
