Why does a baby have three testicles

Patient's question:

My son is two and a half months old. Today, while he was in the bath, I noticed that he has three testicles. The one that is slightly higher is also slightly larger than the other two. What is going on? How is this possible?

Doctor's answer:

If the child's condition was not like this before, it's worth considering a hernia. Have the child undergo an ultrasound to check. If it is a hernia, use a abdominal belt for treatment first. If the effect is not good, consider surgical treatment. However, the treatment process is generally slow, and it is easy to recur after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain good living habits and have a proper diet.
