What should be done if a child is born without testicles?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor! My husband and I already have two daughters, and I discovered I was pregnant again in the first half of the year. We don't want to terminate this pregnancy and hope it's a boy. To our surprise, heaven really allowed it. Yesterday, my child was born, but what should I do if the baby doesn't have testicles?

Doctor's answer:

After a child is born without testicles, it is likely to have a congenital cryptorchidism issue. It is important to go to the hospital as soon as possible for a thorough examination. If this condition is present, surgery is usually performed around the age of two, and most cases can be resolved. For now, do not worry too much or become anxious. It may also be that the testicles have not descended to their normal position yet. After a careful examination, follow the doctor's advice on what treatment measures to take. Male reproductive diseases can be alleviated, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition can easily recur after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to cooperate fully with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid sitting or riding for long periods. Pay attention to personal hygiene as well. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
