Patient's question:
The baby is one year old, and one testicle hasn't descended yet. When is the best time for surgery? Is it a suction surgery? Is there a need for pressure? Does the child need general anesthesia?Doctor's answer:
In the case of a child with high cryptorchidism, surgical treatment is required. The child can undergo surgery now. Generally, this type of surgery can be performed with intravenous anesthesia. After administering fluids to the child, the intravenous medication can be given. The name of the surgery is high cryptorchidism descent and fixation. There will be pressure during the procedure, but it is a minor surgery and there is no need to worry too much. The testicle can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication must be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, the patient should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
