Patient's question:
At birth, I noticed that one of the testicles hadn't descended. It's been a year and two months now, and it still hasn't come down. If I have surgery now, what kind of impact will it have on the child?Doctor's answer:
The child has cryptorchidism and should undergo surgical treatment. It is recommended to visit the urology department of a public hospital promptly for a follow-up check-up, health examination, and related tests. After diagnosis, surgical treatment should be considered. The condition of the testicles can be prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital promptly. Treatment should be considered based on the results of a thorough examination. Furthermore, proper diet should be maintained, and sexual activity should be avoided.
