Why is his testicle sometimes in the scrotum?

Patient's question:

The child is one year and five months old. Recently, I've noticed that his testicles are sometimes inside the scrotum and sometimes not. He often scratches his buttocks. Is this cryptorchidism? What should I pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the materials you currently purchased, this situation is definitely not cryptorchidism. Cryptorchidism refers to a condition where the testicle is not located in the scrotum. If it is inside the scrotum, it is normal. There is no need for special treatment or resolution. The testicle can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, the patient should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
