Patient's question:
Baby was born, the doctor said there were no testicles in the scrotum, and the ultrasound did not detect any either. The doctor said the baby was too small and that a thorough examination should be done after the full moon. Could you please tell me what is generally the situation if a newborn baby has no testicles?Doctor's answer:
Based on the current symptoms of the baby, it is speculated that it is not ruled out that the condition may be caused by undescended testicles. It is recommended to wait and see by carefully observing. If the testicles have not retracted on their own by the time the baby is two years old, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. For patients with urological diseases, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive symptomatic treatment promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
