At half a year old, my son's testicles are one large and one small. How should this be handled?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello: I recently noticed that my son's left testicle has shrunk in a short period of time, but there haven't been any changes now, and he's still eating normally. Sometimes the testicle retracts and shrinks, but it can still be felt to be slightly larger and bulging than the right one. Can I leave it alone and see if it will improve on its own? He has always disliked climbing tables—was it because of pushing and squeezing? What kind of assistance is needed: Where can I buy a hernia bag? Is it available at hospitals? He has always disliked climbing tables—was it because of pushing and squeezing? What kind of illness could it be?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, the baby's symptoms are likely to be inguinal hernia. The treatment for this condition should first reduce the baby's abdominal pressure and minimize crying to help improve the condition.
Recommendation: It is suggested to first use a hernia bag for the baby, which is commonly available in hospitals. If it does not improve after 2 years, surgical treatment can be considered. If there is incarceration, immediate surgical treatment should be performed to prevent intestinal infection.
Wishing your baby healthy growth. Male diseases can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
