Patient's question:
My aunt's little grandson has a left inguinal hernia. He had hernia surgery a year ago, and now it's been almost a year, but his left testicle hasn't descended. So, I'd like to ask what should be done if the testicle hasn't descended?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the baby is born, if the testicles have not descended, it indicates cryptorchidism. Within the first year of the baby's life, the testicles may still descend, so there is no need to worry too much. You can wait and see for now.Drink more water for the baby regularly. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should eat more protein- and vitamin-rich foods. If the testicles have not descended by the time the baby is over one year old, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for examination. Surgical treatment in pediatrics may be an option.
