Patient's question:
Previously, due to not knowing about male-related issues, I was embarrassed to mention the reoccurrence of cryptorchidism to my family. Now that I am an adult, I would like to get checked and treated for it.Which department should I make an appointment with to check the testicles?
Doctor's answer:
The testicles are male reproductive organs. If there is inflammation in this position, it is a urological or andrological disease. Therefore, you can go to the hospital for urology or andrology. If there is suspicion of a hidden condition, it can be diagnosed through color Doppler MRI. If it is confirmed that the testicles are not in the scrotum but in another position, treatment through testicular ascent fixation needs to be implemented.Pay attention to local hygiene, drink more, and avoid unsafe sex. Change your underwear frequently to maintain cleanliness and dryness, and wear pure cotton underwear. Eat a healthy diet, consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Avoid smoking and always maintain a positive mindset.
