Patient's question:
Now it's been five months already. The boy's left testicle is normal, but the right one hasn't descended. It looks a bit lower than before, but it's still not in the scrotum. Should we wait for medication or decide on surgery? Should we wait and see? The milk isn't enough to eat, will it affect his growth and development?Doctor's answer:
Undescended testicles in children may be caused by incomplete development of the abdominal wall or congenital factors. They usually return to normal within two years. It is recommended to wait and see first, as surgery is not advisable at this stage due to the child being too young to tolerate it. It is best to wait until the child is two years old. If the testicles have not descended by then, a follow-up visit to the hospital is recommended. Testicles can recover, but the treatment period is usually long, and there is a higher risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and avoiding prolonged sitting or riding are essential. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene.
