Patient's question:
Boy, 24 months old, no testicles on the right side.Hello, my baby is almost two years old and doesn't have a testicle on the right side. I had an X-ray at the hospital, and the doctor said surgery is needed. Could you please tell me where is a good place to have the surgery? Are there any risks? How many days will it take to recover? How much will it cost?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, in this case, it is best to add an abdominal ultrasound to confirm whether there are testicles in the abdominal cavity. Generally, testicles can be found in the abdomen, and no testicles are found in the inguinal region, which is also normal because undescended testicles rarely stay in the inguinal region. It is recommended to have an abdominal ultrasound to determine the position of the undescended testicle. Usually, testicles can be found in the abdomen. If only one testicle is present, it will not affect future life.
