What should be done if a child's testicles are abnormal?

Patient's question:

These past few days, while giving my child a bath, I noticed something unusual with his testicles. It seems like I can only feel one testicle, while the other one seems to be missing. When I asked him, he said it doesn't hurt and that he doesn't usually feel anything. Is this a testicular abnormality? What should I do if a child has a testicular abnormality?

Doctor's answer:

Children's testicles may be of different sizes, and attention should be paid to whether it is orchitis or hydrocele. There may also be a possibility of pain and discomfort. At this time, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment. If inflammation occurs, anti-inflammatory drugs need to be taken for treatment. If the effusion is severe, surgery may be required for treatment at this time. This will have a better effect. Medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Male diseases are prone to recurrence.
