Patient's question:
My baby has been acting a bit abnormal recently. He only has one testicle, often suffers from incontinence, has small red bumps on his inner thighs, and the other one inside his body is concave. He also experiences occasional dry heaving, and his breathing sounds rough when he naps during the day. I'd like to ask what could be the reason for a child having only one testicle?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is likely that there is an undescended testicle. You need to go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check if the other testicle can be located. If it cannot be found, it would be considered testicular absence. Incontinence of urine and small red bumps on the thighs are not related to testicular absence or undescended testicles. If there is an undescended testicle, surgery is required. For the small red bumps, you can use various anti-inflammatory creams together.
