One of the testicles on the right side is stuck and cannot come down

Patient's question:

What should I do if my child's right testicle cannot ascend? My child was born with the right testicle not descending, and now at 3 years old, it still hasn't come down. In the summer, I can feel it, but in the winter, I can't. Should I have surgery? When is the best time to have surgery? Will it descend on its own without surgery?
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: There has been no prior treatment.
What assistance is needed: Should I have surgery? Will it descend on its own?

Doctor's answer:

The child's condition may not improve on its own.
Advice: It is recommended that you take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination as soon as possible. In most cases, this condition will naturally resolve around the age of one. If it does not improve by then, the likelihood of resolution decreases significantly, and early surgical intervention will be necessary. The earlier the treatment, the better the outcome. Otherwise, the affected testicle may lose its fertility.
For patients with male reproductive health issues, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and targeted treatment, avoid overexertion in daily life, and pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
