Can a child be treated for having only one testicle?

Patient's question:

The baby is 4 years old and only has one testicle, which is congenital! Is the treatment too late now? Will it affect the future?

Doctor's answer:

After the child was born, it was discovered that there was only one testicle, which is likely a congenital developmental anomaly. It could be cryptorchidism or the absence of one testicle on one side. The specific situation needs to be diagnosed at the hospital. If it is cryptorchidism, surgical treatment is generally effective. If it is missing, it can only be left to nature. It is necessary to go to a more advanced hospital, and it is generally more reliable to go to a children's hospital or a general hospital.
