What should I do if one of the baby's testicles moves upwards?

Patient's question:

The baby is a little over a month old. When they strain, one testicle goes up, and sometimes it's down there. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

The cause may be related to a hernia. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a check-up in the next few days. If the baby is usually prone to crying, it is advisable to manage his emotions well. Apply a warm towel to the affected area each night for cold compress, and it can gradually be completely resolved. The testicles can recover, but the treatment period is usually long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, the patient should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
