Patient's question:
My child is 10 years old and has microcalculi in the testicles. How can they be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, although relatively rare, it is important to take them seriously. Testicular microlithiasis generally does not require treatment. Because individuals with testicular microlithiasis have a higher risk of developing primary testicular tumors, periodic MRI follow-up is necessary. Generally, MRI examinations for testicular microlithiasis are recommended every 6-12 months. Foreign literature reports a recurrence of testicular tumors, so it should be taken seriously to detect testicular tumors in a timely manner. Patients diagnosed during childhood should be followed up until adulthood. For testicular patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence.
