Is it a problem if a two-month-old baby's testicles are asymmetrical?

Patient's question:

My son is now two months old, and today I noticed that his testicles are slightly asymmetrical. What should I do if a two-month-old baby's testicles are asymmetrical?

Doctor's answer:

Some children have undescended testicles due to the testicles not bending in the womb, or because the testicles on both sides are not the same. This is a congenital developmental deficiency, but the testicles can develop normally after birth. Therefore, there is no need for the mother to worry. With gradual development and recovery after birth, the testicles will become symmetrical on both sides. Avoid letting the child cry loudly, as high-pitched crying can lead to hernia.
