Patient's question:
Now five years old, it was more than a week ago, but it became less noticeable later. I thought it naturally resolved. Please ask, what is the usual treatment effect for testicular problems?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, a 5-year-old boy has symptoms of cryptorchidism. Please go to pediatric surgery for a thorough examination and diagnosis. If cryptorchidism is diagnosed, surgical treatment is recommended. If cryptorchidism is left untreated, it may lead to 1. testicular torsion, testicular cerebral edema, and suppuration; 2. testicular injury, as the testicle is located in the inguinal canal, is superficially fixed, and lacks scrotal protection; 3. malignancy, with the incidence of malignancy in intra-abdominal cryptorchidism being dozens of times higher than in normal testicles. For patients with urological diseases, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If treatment is delayed, it may affect the overall health condition. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and, in daily life, avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
