Patient's question:
A three-month-old baby, with low echo in the right testicle and undescended left testicle. Could you please ask the doctor what are the preferred treatments for low testicular echo?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description and symptoms, it is more likely that the baby has hydrocele on the right side and cryptorchidism on the left. Cryptorchidism is a developmental abnormality of the testicles, where the testicles do not ascend to the scrotum and remain in the abdominal cavity or inguinal region. Long-term exposure to high temperatures can lead to malignant transformation of the testicles and loss of fertility. It is recommended to seek timely treatment, which generally involves hormone therapy or surgical intervention. The treatment should be completed before the baby is 1 year old.Urological conditions can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
