Patient's question:
Is it normal for the testicles not to descend? None of my classmates have experienced this again. Will this condition affect future testicular growth and development? The testicles have been staying up without descending, and I often feel as if they are being pinched. Is this a physiological phenomenon?Doctor's answer:
This is not normal. It involves undescended testicles, which can affect fertility over time. If they haven't descended by the age of one year, a testicular repositioning surgery is usually necessary. You must go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. After the surgery, you may consider rechecking your sperm quality, as age can have a greater impact on sperm. It's highly possible that this testicle may no longer have the ability to produce sperm. For patients with urological diseases, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
