Patient's question:
The baby's testicles have not descended. At first, I thought there was a delay, but today a doctor said this is abnormal. I want to ask what are the reasons for the baby's undescended testicles?Doctor's answer:
If the baby's testicles do not descend, it is usually due to the baby experiencing cryptorchidism again. If they have not descended by the age of 6 months, hormone treatment is recommended to facilitate descent. If they have not descended by the age of 1 year, surgical intervention should be considered.Cryptorchidism refers to a condition where, after birth, one or both testicles of a male infant do not descend into the scrotum and remain at any point in their normal ascent process. In other words, there are no testicles in the scrotum, or only one side has a testicle.
Dietary precautions should be taken to avoid spicy foods, and it is advisable to limit the consumption of foods that are easily fermented and to avoid smoking and alcohol. Moderate exercise is acceptable, but avoid intense exercise to prevent adverse effects on the wound. Bathtub baths should only be taken after the wound has fully healed.
