Does one testicle affect development at the age of 5?

Patient's question:

I recently had pain and itching in my testicles. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. Will one testicle, which was affected at the age of 5, have an impact on development?

Doctor's answer:

If it is a boy, having only one testicle will not interfere with future transformation and growth and development. Many with only one testicle can grow and develop normally and have children. The disease can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is easy to relapse after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment during the treatment, use medication appropriately, and the patient should also have a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
