Does having one testicle affect development at the age of 5?

Patient's question:

I recently have pain and itching in my testicles. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. Will one testicle affect development if it wasn't developed properly at the age of 5?

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, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and patients 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!
