Patient's question:
A four-year-old boy has one testicle that is larger than the other, and it has been this way since birth. It doesn't hurt or cause any discomfort, and there are no unusual sensations. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Considering the undescended testicle, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital's perinatal urology department for a follow-up visit. Within the first six months, or even within the first year, the probability of self-correction in children with undescended testicles is still very high. After the first year, it is necessary to seek surgical treatment in a timely manner. Prolonged delay can adversely affect the growth and development of the testicles. The condition of the testicles is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment in professional and regular hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to restrict sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
