What should I do if my child is four years old and one testicle has not descended into the scrotum?

Patient's question:

The patient's private area is always itchy, with redness, swelling, and peeling on the glans and testicles. In severe cases, it may develop ulcers. How should I handle the situation where one of the child's testicles has not descended into the scrotum at the age of four?

Doctor's answer:

The situation you mentioned may require a medical examination first. Then, treatment options can be chosen based on the results of the thorough examination. Generally, you should have noticed this in your child around the age of two. For now, let's wait and see what the examination reveals. Prostate diseases tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it's important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it's necessary to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
