Patient's question:
The baby is 5 years old. During the school health check, it was said that the left testicle might be undescended. The local maternal and child health hospital and the county hospital conducted thorough examinations, but the results were different. One said it was definitely nothing, while the other recommended a testicular ascent surgery. Another said that surgery was also necessary, but it wouldn’t guarantee that half would be normal and half would be abnormal. At the maternal and child health hospital, an ultrasound was performed, showing that one testicle was in the scrotum and the other was in the abdomen, which should be normal. The doctor could manually move the testicle into the scrotum. During naps at night and while bathing, the testicles were both in the scrotum, which is normal. But during the day, sometimes they were in the scrotum, and sometimes they could not be felt in the scrotum?Doctor's answer:
For a child's condition like this, it is generally related to growth and development, and surgery is usually not necessary for the time being. It is better to regularly observe and follow up. Also, please give an objective evaluation to my reply. The testicles can recover, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid sitting or riding for long periods. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene.
