Patient's question:
Does the child have a testicle that hasn't dropped, and can surgery be performed? How much are the estimated surgical costs? The child is now one year old, what is the best time to perform the surgery?Doctor's answer:
In this case, the child has cryptorchidism. If the testicle does not ascend within three months, surgical intervention is required. The definitive treatment for undescended testicles should be completed between 6 to 12 months after birth, as this is the optimal time for orchidopexy (surgical testicular ascent and fixation). The cost of the surgery varies depending on the region and the level of the hospital, and it is approximately 8000.Testicular conditions can be prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Additionally, they should avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
