Patient's question:
My friend's child received a thorough examination in the hospital and was diagnosed with testicular hypoplasia. I'd like to understand what the symptoms of testicular hypoplasia might be.Doctor's answer:
Boys with undescended testicles are much smaller than their peers. If there are issues with the growth and development of a child's testicles, it is important to take the child to a urology department in the hospital as soon as possible to address any sensations or problems. The testicles may be too small or one side may be too loose. It is necessary to carefully check for cryptorchidism. The underdevelopment of a child's testicles will not directly affect the child's normal life or future health. The majority of men with undescended testicles have normal intelligence, but a small number of patients may have mild intellectual development delays because the underdevelopment of the testicles can lead to a higher likelihood of X chromosome abnormalities, which may result in intellectual delays.
