Where to seek medical treatment for testicles moving up and down

Patient's question:

At birth, one can go up and the other can go down, but both are the same size. The doctor said it would be fine when you grow up. However, at the age of eleven, I realized it's still the same. When standing up, the left one is still below, and the right one is above. Without carefully touching, it's almost impossible to feel. There's no pain, no other abnormalities. It's just that one is big and the other is small, and the other is big and the other is small. How can it be treated? How does it affect future fertility? Where should I seek treatment? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it cannot be said to be cryptorchidism because the testicles can still be felt in the scrotum. Advice: As long as the testicles are in the scrotum, they will not affect the testicular sperm production function, and thus will not affect fertility. For patients with male reproductive diseases, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If treatment is not timely, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and symptomatic treatment, and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
