Patient's question:
The child will be 78 years old soon. The right testicle is missing. Please ask the doctor how children without testicles are usually treated.Doctor's answer:
In the case of your child, it is likely cryptorchidism, and surgery must be performed at an early stage to prevent the testicles from failing to develop. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to understand the position of the testicles and undergo surgery as soon as possible. If delays occur, it will interfere with the child's testicular development, leading to the loss of perinatal function, and there may even be a risk of malignant transformation of the cryptorchidism. This type of surgery is typically performed when the child is two years old. If surgery is delayed until the child is seven years old, the interference with the testicles may still be severe, but it is absolutely essential not to delay any further. Male reproductive diseases can be treated, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment.
