What is the reason why a newborn baby only has one testicle?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, my child, a newborn baby only has one testicle on one side, what's going on? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

The condition of the child involves cryptorchidism, which is abnormal. The temperature required for the testicles should be slightly lower than body temperature and not the same as body temperature. If it is the same as body temperature, development and growth will be abnormal. This condition in the child requires treatment. You can gently pull down this testicle. If it retracts on its own, surgical treatment may be necessary. Urological conditions tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to immediately seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
