Patient's question:
Previously, due to not knowing about male-related issues, I felt embarrassed to mention the reoccurrence of undescended testicles 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 for a testicular examination?Doctor's answer:
The testis is a male reproductive organ. 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 varicocele, it can be diagnosed through color Doppler MRI. If it is confirmed that the testis is 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 attitude.
